Logan Thompson joins Capitals for morning skate ahead of Game 4 vs. Canadiens

Will goaltender Logan Thompson return for Game 4 Sunday against the Montreal Canadiens or are the Washington Capitals just playing mind games?

Thompson was on the ice for the team’s morning skate, although he was unavailable to speak to reporters because he “hasn’t been cleared yet,” according to Sportsnet’s Eric Engels.

The 28-year-old Thompson was injured during the third period of Game 3 Friday when teammate Dylan Strome crashed into him while Montreal’s Juraj Slafkovsky scored. Charlie Lindgren finished the game.

Strome said it was an “unfortunate break” as Thompson needed help skating off the ice and wasn’t putting any weight on his left skate.

Thompson was the second goaltender to leave the game after Canadiens starter Sam Montembeault departed during the second period with an apparent lower-body injury.

Jakub Dobes entered the game and made seven saves on eight shots to help Montreal earn the 6-3 victory.

Thompson, acquired from the Vegas Golden Knights last June, posted a 31-6-6 record, 2.49 goals-against average and .910 save percentage in 43 games during the regular season. He has a 2-1 record, 2.73 GAA and .917 save percentage in the playoffs.

Washington holds a 2-1 lead in the first-round series.
