The Washington Capitals faced a challenging game against the Montreal Canadiens at Bell Centre, resulting in a disappointing 6-3 loss and raising injury concerns, particularly for goaltender Thompson. After two strong performances earlier in the series, the Capitals struggled with defensive lapses, allowing Montreal to dominate the game with a shot disparity of 40-19. Tensions escalated during the match, leading to misconducts and five penalties for the Capitals, which the Canadiens exploited by scoring twice on the power play. In a pivotal moment late in the game, a collision involving Thompson left him injured and unable to play, marking a troubling setback for a player who had recently returned from an upper-body injury. With Thompson out, Charlie Lindgren stepped in but couldn't prevent additional goals, and the Caps' attempts to respond to Montreal's scoring fell flat. Despite this tough loss, the Capitals hold a 2-1 series lead as they look ahead to Game 4, hoping to regroup and adjust their strategy moving forward.
