The time has come for some killer instinct. Up 3-1, the Capitals have the Canadiens up against the ropes…now they need to finish them, or risk having to go back to Montreal for a Game 6 and letting the momentum swing back in the Habs’ direction.
No one wants that.
First, some admin stuff for Game 5:
- Where: Capital One Arena
- When: 7:00 p.m.
- How to Watch: Monumental, ESPN
- How to Listen: 106.7, Capitals Radio 24/7
Series: 3-1
Goalie Matchup:
Logan Thompson (3-1, .912, 2.54 GAA) vs. Jakub Dobeš (1-1, .875, 2.77 GAA)
Let’s try this again: look for big #21 to make his 2025 postseason debut (for real this time?), with Thompson back between the pipes, behind these lines and pairs:
Ovechkin – Strome – Protas
McMichael – Dubois – Wilson
Mangiapane – Eller – Leonard
Duhaime – Dowd – Beauvillier
Chychrun – Carlson
Sandin – Roy
Alexeyev – van Riemsdyk
Thompson
