The Toronto Maple Leafs got revenge on the Washington Capitals, evening up their Eastern Conference playoff series with a 4-3 double-overtime win in Game 2 on Saturday.

Kasperi Kapanen got to play hero for the Maple Leafs with two goals, including the game-winner with eight minutes remaining in the second overtime. Brian Boyle made the play, deking Washington goalie Braden Holtby with a fantastic behind-the-back pass.

TSN's Mark Masters noted Kapanen has a knack for coming up huge in critical moments during games:
