The Capitals lead the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-2 in the series, but it really couldn’t be much closer when it comes down to the statistics.
Side by side, these two teams are playing similar hockey.
However, the series is tilted in favor of the Capitals, for now.
The Leafs will need to win back to back games in Toronto and Washington in order to take the series and progress to round two against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Do or Die
It’s quite literally a do or die situation for the Leafs come Sunday night.
