The Caps were not able to build off their big win against the Pittsburgh Penguins, letting a bad second period erase the momentum and falling into a deficit they couldn’t erase.
Here’s Sunday evening’s plus/minus:
Plus: Honestly, the Caps didn’t play as poor as the score dictated through two periods. The Maple Leafs scored some goofy goals but the Caps’ first forty minutes were good, especially for an away game.
Minus: The third period, however, was lifeless, which is a shame because if they stuck with it, it felt like they could have clawed back into the game.
