Ivan Demidov - Provides two power-play helpers Demidov notched two power-play assists and went minus-2 in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals in Game 4.
Impact Demidov had a hand in goals by Juraj Slafkovsky and Cole Caufield during the second period. The 19-year-old Demidov had two points in his debut versus the Blackhawks on April 14, but these helpers Sunday were his first playoff points. During the postseason, the winger has added two shots on net, seven hits and a minus-4 rating over four appearances while filling a middle-six role with power-play time.

Lane Hutson - Contributes two power-play assists Hutson logged two power-play assists, three shots on goal and a minus-3 rating in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals in Game 4.
Impact Hutson's playmaking has remained dynamic in the postseason. He's picked up five helpers, including three on the power play, over four playoff contests. The blueliner has added a minus-3 rating with three shots on net, one hit and one blocked shot while playing in his usual top-four role.

Juraj Slafkovsky - Buries power-play marker Slafkovsky scored a power-play goal and went minus-3 in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals in Game 4.
Impact Slafkovsky has scored in back-to-back contests on home ice after coming up empty in the first two games of the series. The winger has added 15 shots on net, eight hits and a minus-2 rating over four playoff contests. He's on the top line and first power-play unit, so he'll be a key factor in Wednesday's Game 5 in Washington as the Canadiens try to keep their season alive.

Cole Caufield - Nets power-play goal in loss Caufield scored a power-play goal on two shots and went minus-4 in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals in Game 4.
Impact Caufield put the Canadiens ahead 2-1 in the second period. The winger has three goals, one assists, 21 shots on net and a minus-4 rating over four playoff outings, with two of his three tallies coming on the power play. The Canadiens have had success on the power play and through the top line, but the Capitals look to be the deeper team in this first-round matchup, which Montreal trails 3-1.

Jakub Dobes - Fades late in loss Dobes allowed three goals on 24 shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals in Game 4. The last two goals were empty-netters.
Impact Dobes got the start since Sam Montembeault (lower body) was unavailable. The Canadiens took a 2-1 lead after two periods, but Dobes was unable to protect it in the final frame. He won his playoff debut in relief of Montembeault in Friday's Game 3, but Dobes is still a a relatively untested rookie netminder. The Canadiens will be facing elimination in Game 5 at Washington on Wednesday, and Dobes will get the nod if Montembeault remains out.
