Connor McMichael and Dylan Strome scored goals one minute apart in the second period and Logan Thompson stopped 25 of 26 shots faced, including all 14 in the third period, to give the Capitals a 3-1 Game 2 win and a 2-0 series lead.

Through two games, the Capitals hold a 31 to 17 advantage in high-danger scoring chances and have led for 72:24 of the 122:26 of total game time (per Natural Stat Trick). Washington’s 2:31 spent trailing is the second-lowest total among all teams in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Capitals now head to Montreal for Games 3 and 4. Washington has won 19 of their last 25 regular-season games at Bell Centre and are 2-1 in playoff games played in Montreal all-time.
