Thompson made 16 saves on 18 shots to backstop the Capitals to a 5-2 bounce-back victory that put the Canadiens on the brink of elimination.
[Thompson] is a big part of our team that's been great in this series. Was happy that it wasn't anything significant that would keep him out for an extended period of time.
The sight was unexpected; fans on social media wrote "he is risen" in response to videos of Thompson's appearance, invoking a biblical tone to the goaltender's return.
Thompson had to make just five stops in the first period, but a post-to-post reaction save he made to rob Nick Suzuki with 4:40 left showed he was feeling fine.
