Washington’s Semyon Varlamov had 25 saves in that game. While he has lost four straight starts, Varlamov is 4-3-2 with a 1.73 goals-against average since Christmas.
After trading away Capitals nemesis Jaroslav Halak over the summer, Montreal has relied heavily on goaltender Carey Price all season. Price is tied for second in the NHL with 24 wins and ninth with a 2.36 GAA, but he’s 2-3-3 with a 3.44 GAA in his career against Washington, including postseason. Price and the Canadiens entered the All-Star break on a sour note after last Tuesday’s 5-2 loss at Philadelphia, but they’re still 7-2-3 in their last 12 to stay in playoff position and within striking distance of Northeast Division-leading Boston.
Washington may have Alexander Semin back in the lineup for the first time since Jan. 8. Semin, who scored 40 goals last season but hasn’t found the net since Nov. 28, signed a one-year contract extension Thursday. Washington’s offensive struggles can, by some measure, be traced back to the Canadiens. After leading the NHL in scoring by a wide margin during the 2009-10 regular season, the top-seeded Capitals lost to Montreal in the first round of the playoffs, scoring one goal in each of the final three games to squander a 3-1 series lead. Washington Capitals, however, weren’t expecting to occupy the same position in the Southeast Division.
