The game featured a major brawl and both starting goalies leaving with injuries in playoff hockey's return to Montreal.

Montreal needs to find a way to score more after totaling three goals in the first two games, one each from Caufield, Suzuki and center Christian Dvorak, and do a better job of defending. Washington has a 23-8 advantage in high-danger shots on goal, according to NHL EDGE stats, through the first two games.
