The Montreal Canadiens faced a significant setback during their 6-3 win over the Washington Capitals in Game 3 of their Eastern Conference first-round series. Netminder Sam Montembeault exited midway through the second period with an apparent lower-body injury, forcing rookie Jakub Dobes to make his Stanley Cup Playoff debut.

Montreal not only picked up a 6-3 win to get its first win of the series, it absolutely dominated the game. Even though the Capitals won the first two games of the series, the Canadiens were very much in both games and were giving the Eastern Conference's top seed everything they could handle. They just needed something to go their way.

Logan Thompson exited with an injury and a brawl marred the proceedings as the Canadiens earned a 6-3 win at home to trim the Capitals’ series lead to two games to one.
