Logan Thompson's performance in Game 2 of the playoffs has solidified his importance to the Washington Capitals. After missing the final seven games of the regular season, he delivered an outstanding performance, making 25 saves and allowing only one goal in a 3-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens. His crucial saves in the third period helped the Capitals maintain a narrow lead. Teammates and coaches have praised Thompson's impact, highlighting his ability to step up when the team faced challenges, particularly in high-pressure moments during the playoffs.
"He's been huge for us all season, and tonight's another showcase of what he's done for us this year," Pierre-Luc Dubois said postgame. "We're all really happy to have him back there. He's played a lot of good games for us this year and he's going to play a lot of good games going forward."
"I thought he was the difference tonight, in the third," said head coach Spencer Carbery.
Dylan Strome remarked that Thompson "shut the door when we needed it most," not only delivering solid goaltending but complementing rest of the team when they faltered.
Thompson was particularly crucial in the third period as Washington struggled to hold onto a 2-1 lead.
