The Washington Capitals are preparing for a central game 4 against the Montreal Canadiens, with both teams being confronted with uncertainty of their goalkeeping situation.

After a third game in which the starters of both teams left the game due to an injury, both sides still have to clarify who will be on the net if the puck falls on Sunday Matchup in the Bell Center.

Washington lost 6: 3 in game 3 and shortened their series to 2: 1. In addition, the caps lost the starting knind to Logan Thompson late in the third period after colliding with the team -mate Dylan Strome near the network. Backup Charlie Lindgren ended the game.

Head coach Spencer Carbery spoke to reporters after the optional training on Saturday, but did not provide any new information about Thompsons Status for Game 4.

“I don't do [have an update]”Carbery said.” Later I will get an update from our training staff today. “

Thompson did not take part in the skate on Saturday. Lindgren and reserve goalkeeper Clay Stevenson occupied the nets.

Thompson, who used to be afraid in game 3, after he was hit in the head by an opponent's stick and hit by a puck in the Neck area, gave up five goals at 35 shots before he competed.

Before the injury, Thompson was an important player for Washington and achieved an average of 2.73 goals and a percentage of 0.917 in the series.

Thompson had just returned from an injury to the upper body, which exposed him for the last seven games of the regular season.

However, Carbery explained full trust in Lindgren when he has to start game 4.

“It will be the next man for us,” said Carbery. “And we know Chucky Lindgren and he did a great job. He is a great goalkeeper.”
