The Washington Capitals secured a convincing 5-2 victory against the Montreal Canadiens, extending their series lead to 3-1 in the playoffs. Goaltender Logan Thompson, despite being a game-time decision due to an upper-body injury, made 16 saves, showcasing resilience. The Capitals' offense was powered by notable performances from Dylan Strome and Anthony Beauvillier, among others, who helped push the team forward in this critical matchup.

Strome, with a total of six points in four games, continues to be a key player, contributing significantly to the Capitals' success. The Capitals' defensive unit, particularly Jakob Chychrun and John Carlson, also played vital roles, while the Canadiens struggled to maintain their momentum against a determined Capitals side.
