Capitals rally in 3rd, push Canadiens to brink with Game 4 win | NHL.com

Logan Thompson, who sustained an undisclosed injury in a collision with Strome in the third period of a 6-3 loss in Game 3 on Friday, made 16 saves.

“I kind of got my bell rung a bit there,” Thompson said. “It was scary. It definitely could have been a lot worse.”

Juraj Slafkovsky and Cole Caufield each scored a power-play goal, and Ivan Demidov and Lane Hutson each had two assists for the Canadiens, who are the second wild card from the East.

“I feel a bit bad for the group,” Montreal coach Martin St. Louis said. “I don’t really know what to say to them. If you have any answers for them, let me know.”

Jakub Dobes made 21 saves in his first Stanley Cup Playoff start. The 23-year-old rookie got the win in relief on Friday after Sam Montembeault, who is day to day, left with an undisclosed injury during the second period.

“There’s only a win or a loss, you don’t get points,” Dobes said. “We’ll be fine. We’re a young group of players. I’m excited for the trip. The more experience, the better for us.”
