The Capitals faced off against Toronto for the first time since Marcus Johansson ended the Maple Leafs’ season on April 24th. But tonight was Toronto’s time as they handed Washington a 2 to 0 loss at home behind perfect play from Frederik Andersen.
Here’s Tuesday night’s Plus/Minus:
Plus: The Maple Leafs have a high octane offense and the Capitals defense (alongside clean up from Braden Holtby) held them to a single goal against. After the outing in Philadelphia that has to be seen as a positive.
Minus: Toronto outplayed Washington thoroughly early. The Maple Leafs’ youthful legs had the Capitals reeling around Holtby’s crease several shifts in a row and almost tallied several times.
