Two games down at home, two wins. That’s exactly what you want – but now the series shifts to Montreal, where the Caps will look to take a dominant series lead (and perhaps clean up some of those third-period slumbers?) at what promises to be a very loud, raucous Bell Centre. Let’s go.
First, some admin stuff for Game 3:
- Where: Bell Centre
- When: 7:00 p.m.
- How to Watch: Monumental, TNT, TruTV, MAX
- How to Listen: 106.7, Capitals Radio 24/7
Series: 2-0
Goalie Matchup:
Logan Thompson (2-0, .951, 1.47 GAA) vs. Sam Montembeault (0-2, .921, 2.49 GAA)
Looking for some pregame reading/listening? We’ve got you covered:
Barring a return for Aliaksei Protas (who did skate in a regular jersey today, but stayed on for extra time), hard to imagine the Caps will make too many changes ahead of Game 3 – especially in net. Carbs has gotten into the full-swing playoff caginess, though, so that could change…for now, here’s what the lineup could look like tonight:
Ovechkin – Strome – Beauvillier
McMichael – Dubois – Wilson
Mangiapane – Eller – Leonard
Duhaime – Dowd – Raddysh
Chychrun – Carlson
Sandin – Roy
Alexeyev – van Riemsdyk
Thompson
Lindgren
