"The Caps have not looked like themselves since gleefully taking two days off last week, and returning home after a two-game road trip, they needed a big effort to get back on track. They sure got it, getting on the board first and never really looking back."
"Plus: In a penalty-filled game, the Caps' special teams came to play. The penalty killers took care of business on all five Toronto power plays, and while the Caps' power play didn't score, they looked very dangerous and could easily have gotten at least one but for some timely saves, goalposts, etc."
"Caps Player of the Game: Justin Sourdif was everywhere tonight, Jakob Chychrun scored twice, Logan Thompson turned aside everything he faced...but let's give this to the veteran, John Carlson, for his three-point night!"
The Capitals had taken two days off last week and returned home after a two-game road trip without looking like themselves. They opened the scoring and maintained control en route to a 4-0 victory over Toronto. The game featured numerous penalties, but the Caps' penalty killers stopped all five Toronto power plays. The power play failed to score yet generated dangerous chances that were denied by timely saves and the goalpost. Taking five penalties remained a clear negative. Justin Sourdif excelled, Jakob Chychrun scored twice, Logan Thompson shut out Toronto, and John Carlson recorded three points.
