Capitals head coach Spencer Carbery hinted that Logan Thompson might start in Game 1 against the Canadiens, as he was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate. Despite Thompson's return after an upper-body injury, Carbery did not confirm his status or medical clearance, leaving uncertainty around the decision. Thompson had a strong regular season with a 31-6-6 record. He has one win and one tie against Montreal this season and previous playoff experience with the Golden Knights, where he performed well.
"What [time] do they do warmup at? 6:30? You'll find out then," the Caps' second-year head coach said, remaining coy about his Game 1 starter's status.
"That would be a Serbs question," he said. "I don't even know if - yeah, that's a Serbs question," Carbery stated when discussing Thompson's medical clearance.
