Summary
The Montreal Canadiens returned to practice ahead of their crucial game five against the Washington Capitals, with Patrik Laine participating in a regular jersey but still considered day-to-day. Jakub Dobes is likely to start in goal due to uncertainty surrounding Samuel Montembeault, while the Canadiens will need improved offensive contributions from key players like Suzuki and Slafkovsky to avoid elimination. The game is pivotal for the Canadiens, especially as it could mark David Savard’s final appearance in his career.
