Washington Capitals beat Montreal Canadiens, 6-3, in Game 4 of series – The Post
Capitals take command of series – The Montreal Gazette
With my parenting responsibilities concluded for the evening, I sat down to watch the Washington Capitals. It was the second period and they were losing to the Montréal Canadiens 2-1 and and just after I started watching they took a too many men on the ice penalty. The second period was ending, but with about 6.5 seconds left Boyd Gordon made a pretty pass to Mike Knuble who banged in a shorthanded goal. That killed the Habs momentum heading into intermission. Goaltender Semyon Varlamov kept the Caps in it by saving 20 or 21 shots in the second period.

In the third period Alex Ovechkin score the go-ahead goal with less than nine-minutes to go. Moments later, Jason Chimera redirected a Matt Bradley pass off of Carey Price for the 4th D.C. goal. Price, lost his cool as the game came to a close. He was pulled with about 2.5 minutes left leading to Knuble empty-net goal. The Habs got it back, but with time winding down Nicklas Backstrom put one in the empty net again. Final score Washington, 6-3.

Game 5 is Friday night in Chinatown — hopefully, the Caps can reward the Verizon Center faithful with a series clinching victory.
