Logan Thompson's recent performance has firmly established him as the backbone of the Washington Capitals during their playoff run, particularly highlighted by a stellar third period in Game 2 against the Montreal Canadiens. Thompson's saves reinvigorated the crowd and showcased his ability to rise to the occasion, reflecting a deeper understanding of playoff hockey.

Despite a close call that he humorously downplayed—a supposed save that actually hit the post—his overall performance was impeccable. Coach Spencer Carbery praised Thompson for his critical saves that preserved the Capitals' lead, further solidifying his role after recovering from an injury. The Capitals now hold a commanding two-game lead in the series, largely due to Thompson's resilience and skill in goal.
