Outside of the first game of the series, none of the games have been within one score, including Sunday. The five goals scored are the most the Capitals have scored this series. The Canadiens did unload in Game 3, scoring six and picking up a 6-3 victory.

In Sunday’s pivotal Game 4, Andrew Mangiapane’s goal with 3:37 remaining in the third period snapped a 2-2 tie, lifting Washington to its first lead since the middle of the second period. Empty-net insurance goals from Brandon Duhaime – his second goal of the game – and Tom Wilson accounted for the final score.

Montreal was unable to take advantage of a miscue after the Caps lost control of the puck near their own line. Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki’s shot was the only shot Montreal’s top forward trio would muster on the night at 5-on-5 against the Capitals.
