The Montreal Canadiens are on the board and looking to draw even with the Washington Capitals with Game 4 coming up Sunday night in their NHL Eastern Conference Playoffs series.

Aliaksei Protas could return for Game 4 against the Montreal Canadiens at Bell Centre on Sunday (6:30 p.m. ET; CBC, TVAS, SN, TBS, truTV, MNMT, MAX). The Capitals lead the Eastern Conference First Round best-of-7 series 2-1.

If the answer is “no,” that’s OK. Montreal nearly backed its way into the playoffs and the Washington Capitals hit a rough patch of their own. Still, this matchup brings a whole bunch of juice — the most prolific goal scorer of all time, the East’s top team and the return of postseason hockey to one of the sport’s true epicenters.
