ANNAPOLIS, Md. — From heavy wind to unexpected darkness, the Washington Capitals battled the elements Saturday as much as the Toronto Maple Leafs in a rare NHL outdoor showcase.
The Capitals topped the Leafs, 5-2, at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, in a game briefly delayed by a blackout in the stadium. Five different Capitals scored and Braden Holtby made 27 saves in his first win since Feb. 9.
Washington (37-21-7, 81 points) attacked Toronto’s second-ranked penalty kill in the first period and went 2-for-2 on the power play to build their advantage.
