The last time Logan Thompson was in Las Vegas, he found himself at the Sphere for an autograph signing, taking in tough news that he'd been traded to the Washington Capitals from the Vegas Golden Knights.

Washington jumped out to a 1-0 lead on an Ovechkin power-play goal. John Carlson teed up the Caps’ captain in his left dot office, but rather than crank one of his patented one-timers, Ovechkin swept a shot toward the net and it bounded off Vegas defender Alex Pietrangelo and in at 5:59 of the first frame.
