“Thompson is having trouble getting out of this out of his net and off the ice,” said the announcer with concern in his voice. Meanwhile, two Capitals teammates helped their star netminder, Logan Thompson, off the ice. In a match filled with drama, fights, and injuries, things went from bad to worse for the Washington Capitals as they tried all in vain to stop the Canadiens. The closing 15 minutes of the high-octane clash saw Montreal finally pull away from the Capitals as they scored three goals in quick succession.
Yet, the 6-3 loss in Game 3 might not hurt the Capitals too much. On the other hand, the prospect of Thompson not returning for the rest series could be devastating. Yet, why would this question even arise? Well, that’s because everything unravelled shortly after Alex Ovechkin equalized for the Washington Capitals. As Juraj Slafkovsky guided the puck into the net for the Canadiens’ 5th goal, Dylan Strome desperately tried to intercept the decisive pass. Unfortunately, the Capitals center went too fast, slamming into Logan Thompson, who fell backwards, twisting his knee.
“That knee, look at the left knee. The skate blade digs into the ice, and the weight of Strome is on him,” the announcer highlighted during the slow-motion recap. Recovering from the fall, Thompson tried to skate off the ice, but immediately buckled when he put his weight on the left knee. Naturally, it begs the question: How badly did the star goaltender hurt himself?
