In the Capitals’ first visit to Toronto this season the hosts dominated their guests 7 to 3 at Scotiabank Arena.
Here’s Thursday night’s Plus/Minus:
Plus: Tonight this is just a Tom Wilson appreciation sentence.
Minus: Quick goals against in succession and being unable to stop the bleeding.
Game notes:
- Five minutes into the contest Michael Bunting brought Leafs fans to their feet with an early goal. Taking a pass in the slot from Mitch Marner the rookie Bunting put his shot up and over Ilya Samsonov.
- Midway through the frame William Nylander extended Toronto’s lead.
