Logan Thompson clarified his Game 3 injury after the Washington Capitals' 5–2 win against the Montreal Canadiens, stating he did not sustain a lower-body injury as initially suspected, but rather a head injury. A collision with teammate Dylan Strome led to a scary moment where Thompson lost his balance and fell. Thankfully, he passed concussion protocols and returned to help Washington take a 3-1 series lead, stopping 16 of 18 shots in Game 4.

The Capitals capitalized on a slow start, turning a deficit into a convincing victory by scoring four unanswered goals in the third period. This intense matchup highlighted the resilience of the Capitals, especially as both teams dealt with starting goalie injuries during the series.
