Game in 10: Auston Matthews leads the way in a bounce-back home-opener win over Washington

While I wouldn’t exactly label it a banner performance, two points are two points, and it’s always nice to grab the first two of the season.

Your game in 10:

1. Both teams took penalties early on to start this game. When Washington went on the first man advantage of the night, Alex Ovechkin hit the crossbar, but the Capitals didn’t register a shot on net afterward. Toronto then went to a power play of their own and absolutely buzzed for over a minute straight until they finally scored.

They could have scored at least three times prior to the actual goal.
