"The Caps were looking to end a three-game losing skid and put an end to some recent good form from the Maple Leafs. Aliaksei Protas finished off a fantastic feed from Justin Sourdif to open the scoring. Jakob Chychrun pounced on a rebound to double the lead and then added another in the third. John Carlson continued the scoring from defense, pumping home a fourth goal. Logan Thompson shutout! Capitals beat Maple Leafs 4-0!"
"Outside of a couple of very bad penalties, I really liked the Capitals' game in the first period. Obviously, the two goals are great, but they controlled play like they haven't been lately. Toronto, under Craig Berube, has been a relatively easy team to dominate five-on-five, so the Caps should be doing what they did to start the game. Great start back on the right track."
"At the time of scoring his 13th goal of the season, Jakob Chychrun would either outright lead or be tied for the lead in goal scoring on eight different NHL teams. In this game for Toronto, only Auston Matthews (14) had more goals than Chychrun this year for the Maple Leafs. He then would tie Matthews with a goal in the third. Goodness."
The Washington Capitals ended a three-game losing skid with a 4-0 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs. Aliaksei Protas opened the scoring on a feed from Justin Sourdif. Jakob Chychrun scored twice, including a third-period goal that tied him with Auston Matthews on Maple Leafs goals for the season. John Carlson added a goal from the blue line. Logan Thompson earned a shutout as the Capitals controlled play early and frequently protected their goalie. Toronto goalie Dennis Hildeby played well at times, and the Capitals failed to convert on the power play.
