TORONTO — It’s hockey hight in Canada, where the Washington Capitals face the Toronto Maple Leafs at Air Canada Centre in the teams’ second meeting of the season. After a New York Rangers’ loss to the Philadelphia Flyers earlier on Saturday, the Capitals could move into first place in the Metropolitan Division with a win.
Who could forget the first game between the teams? Alex Ovechkin scored his 483rd career goal, which tied Sergei Fedorov for most goals scored by a Russian player. With the Capitals down by a goal, Ovechkin scored again in the third period to set a new record, but then that goal was disallowed for goaltender interference.
