2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs
WASHINGTON — Connor McMichael and Dylan Strome netted goals just a minute apart early in the second period. Logan Thompson was outstanding in net, making 25 saves, including several crucial stops. The Washington Capitals defeated the Montreal Canadiens with a score of 3-1 on Wednesday night in Game 2, establishing a commanding 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven first-round series.
Thompson`s performance was particularly brilliant in the final period. He made a vital save by stopping Josh Anderson on a 2-on-0 breakaway with 10:59 left on the clock and later managed to get his stick on a deflection attempt by Christian Dvorak. His stellar play earned him recognition from the crowd, who chanted “L-T! L-T!” and gave the goaltender a standing ovation, especially notable as it was only his second game back from injury.
