Prospect Watch: Logan Thompson
The netminder’s strong season continued, as he stopped 62 of 65 shots to help Henderson win both of its games last week. The Silver Knights got off to an AHL-best 10-1 start, and Thompson’s save percentage (.946) and goals-against average (1.72) led the league among goalies with at least 11 starts.
