The Washington Capitals cruised to a 7-4 win and every time the Toronto Maple Leafs had a goal, the Caps would answer right back. This aligns well with NBC Sports Washington’s NHL 20 simulation, who also took care of the Maple Leafs last night.
It was a high scoring affair in the first 20 minutes with a combined five goals from both sides. 1:20 in Evgeny Kuznetsov put the Caps in front 1-0 off a quick feed in front of the net from Alex Ovechkin. Jakub Vrana had the secondary assist.
