Washington Capitals left a mark on Tom Wilson’s Eastern Conference against Montreal Canadiens in the first round series, and his head coach would not be in any other way.
Wilson, Superstar Alex Ovechkin and Capitals will try to send new Montreal Canadiens and move forward to the conference semi -finals on Wednesday, when the teams play the 5th game of Washington.
With the permission of a 5-2 decision on Sunday, the capitals won the first two home competitions of the seven best series before saving a division of the next two matches in Montreal.
Brandon Duhaime spoke twice in the third period of Capitals, and Dylan Strome and Anthony Beauvillier contributed to extending their points to four games. Strome was gathered a goal and help to give seven points (two goals, five assists) in the series, while the Beauvillier helped the total of five points (one goal, four assists).
Wilson turned into an empty network and closed the score to the third place of Duhaime, a Canadiens defender Alexandre Carrier, who set up the goal of creating a 2-2 tie. According to Capitals coach Spencer Carbery, it changed the momentum of the game.
“They don’t make them like Tom Wilson anymore,” said Carbery, according to the Washington Post. “I bring such a rareness – leadership, even the competitiveness of the physical combination. They all have a lot of features to be in a player, they don’t just do them. They’re not there. They’re not in the league.
“(At the game 4), this is not a target. This is not a help. This is not a game. This is his physicality.
Wilson can do other things as we all know. Yes, often walks the line – and some say routinely passes over the rules of the game. At the end of the second period of the game 3, his clash with Josh Anderson from Montreal gave him a fine of $ 5,000 from NHL.
Canadiens cannot be removed by Wilson’s mascara or other problems because it is a zero margin.
“We continue to push and believe in the men in the room.” He said. “Now there is no more loss or the season does not end. We should only be ready for the next one, we should try to keep as simple as possible. We must focus on the next shift and find a way to do the job.”
Caufield scored a total of three consecutive games to increase three of them in the series.
Lane Hutson set a pair of goals in the game 4 to become the sixth rookie defender in the NHL history to record at least five assists in the first Playoff series.
Sam Montembeault was wounded in the middle of the game 3 and sat in favor of Jakub Dobes, who finished 21 savings. Montembeault remains daily with lower body injury.
