Washington rallied with four goals in the third period for a 5-2 win at Bell Centre to take a 3-1 lead in the best-of-7 Eastern Conference First Round series. Game 5 is at Capital One Arena on Wednesday (7 p.m. ET; MNMT, ESPN, SNP, SNO, SNE, TVAS, CBC).

Logan Thompson provided clarity on his Game 3 injury scare following the Washington Capitals ' 5–2 victory over the Montreal Canadiens in Game 4. The goalie revealed that he did not suffer a lower-body injury, as initially believed, but rather a head issue that forced him out of Friday’s loss.

Jakub Dobes made 21 saves in his first career playoff start, the Canadiens forced to play without starting goaltender Sam Montembeault.
