The Washington Capitals are set to face the Montreal Canadiens in the first round of the playoffs, following the Canadiens securing the final spot in the Eastern Conference. Head Coach Spencer Carbery provided injury updates on goaltender Logan Thompson and forward Aliaksei Protas as the team gears up for Game 1 on Monday. While Thompson has resumed skating, Protas is still recovering. Carbery's cautious responses reflect typical NHL playoff strategies aiming to keep opponents guessing. Clay Stevenson is slated to debut against the Penguins while Charlie Lindgren is expected to start for the playoffs.
Carbery was then asked when he believed he'd know the team could ramp things up with Thompson, and he answered with the typical caginess of an NHL bench boss headed into the playoffs.
Thompson skated again today, so another step in the right direction, Carbery said. Pro, progressing, he's not on the ice yet, but still progressing.
