Goalie Logan Thompson played great until giving up two late goals, but still helped secure the win.

Montreal didn’t start well in Game 1 but showed a lot of fight late in the game. They scored twice in the third period, including a power play goal from Cole Caufield and a clutch equalizer from Nick Suzuki. The Canadiens are young, fast, and hungry, but they’ll need to be sharper from the start if they want to win Game 2.
MatchPlug Prediction For Canadiens VS Capitals
Montreal showed some heart in Game 1, but Washington has the better players and playoff experience. The Capitals won’t want to lose home ice this early in the series. Expect another strong performance from Ovechkin and the crew.
