Tensions are running high between the Washington Capitals and the Montreal Canadiens as they enter Game 4 of the opening round of the NHL playoffs.
The Canadiens crushed Washington 6-3 in Game 3 during which a chaotic brawl between Capitals veteran Tom Wilson and Montreal's Josh Anderson spilled over into the bench.
Adding even more drama, both team's goalies left Game 3 with injuries. While Capitals goaltender Logan Thompson made surprising return to start in Game 4 after suffering what looked like a severe left leg injury, Canadiens starter Sam Montembeault remained out. Jakub Dobes got the start in his place on Sunday.

While neither team scored in the first period, Dylan Strome scored his second goal of the series to give the Capitals a 1-0 lead in the second period.
However, Washington was on a power play with about 15 minutes left in the middle frame when TNT's feed suddenly went dark. The outage affected all viewers watching from Los Angeles to New York.
One man posted, "It appears that TNT has continued their attempts to save money by not showing the Capitals and Canadians game at all." While the game continued, TBS continued to air commercials. One fan added, "Just give us @Sportsnet feed please @NHLonTNT is a joke."
TNT eventually switched to Sportsnet's feed so viewers watching at home could continue to tune in, which most fans loved.
Keith Olbermann posted, "Great news: the Turner broadcast from Montreal just vanished and was replaced by SportsNet... OK, Turner, how much do I have to pay for you to make this permanent? I've got $50 in cash right here - AMERICAN MONEY."
One fan wrote added, "No need for TBS to go back to their coverage when their ‘technical difficulties’ have been resolved for this Caps/Habs game. Just keep the Sportsnet feed. Thank you."
One man wrote, "I am loving the SportsNet broadcast of Capitals/Canadiens. Can feel the excitement and energy."
