Capitals vs. Maple Leafs Recap: Last Laugh is Samsonov’s in Loss to Leafs

In the second of back to back games for both Toronto and Washington the Capitals downed the Maple Leafs 3 to 2.

Here’s Thursday night’s Plus/Minus:

Plus: Charlie Lindgren’s performance - especially in the first period (21 saves)

Minus: Washington’s power play has been completely ineffective to start the season (8.33 opportunities).

More notes on the game:

  • Less than seven minutes into the contest John Tavares put the Maple Leafs on the scoreboard. Taking advantage of a long possession Tavares eventually tucked a Morgan Reilly pass into the net from the far side post.
