Impact Coach Spencer Carbary did not provide an update on Thompson's injury or availability for Sunday's Game 4 matchup in Montreal.

Aliaksei Protas - Trending towards playing Sunday Protas (foot) practiced in full Saturday and is expected to be ready to play in Sunday's Game 4 against Montreal.
Impact Protas has missed the Caps' last nine games, going back to the regular season, after suffering a skate laceration on his foot. The 24-year-old Protas would certainly give Washington's offense a boost -- the forward broke out with 30 goals and 66 points in 76 regular-season games this year.

Andrew Mangiapane - Records assist in Game 3 Mangiapane notched an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Canadiens in Game 3.
Impact Mangiapane snapped a six-game point drought with the helper. The 29-year-old has played in a bottom-six role for much of the season, and that hasn't changed in the playoffs. He's added seven shots on net and two hits over three playoff outings after a regular season where he had 28 points -- his lowest total in six years -- with 95 shots on net, 74 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 81 appearances.

Lars Eller - Serves up helper in loss Eller notched an assist and two PIM in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Canadiens in Game 3.
Impact Eller snapped a 12-game point drought with the assist. He went minus-8 with 17 shots on net and 18 hits in that span. The third-line center had 22 points, 104 shots on net, 57 hits, 35 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 80 regular-season games between the Capitals and Penguins in 2024-25, so he offers little upside in fantasy.

Matt Roy - Produces assist Friday Roy logged an assist, four blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Canadiens in Game 3.
Impact Roy continues to play in a top-four role as a shutdown defenseman. The 30-year-old has one assist, two shots on net, six hits, nine blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over three playoff contests. Roy is a good target for fantasy managers in need of a boost in the physical categories. He had 24 points, 114 hits, 113 blocked shots and a plus-18 rating over 69 regular-season appearances.
