Postgame Recap: Caps 4 Maple Leafs 2

The Caps continue to be on a roll with their 5th win in a row in Toronto last night behind a red hot power play and solid goaltending from Braden Holtby. The Caps now find themselves sitting all alone in first place in the Metropolitan Division.

My Thoughts:

*Jason Chimera is still on fire scoring his 7th goal of the season and adding another assist. I said I wanted more from the bottom six and Chimera has been the one who is delivering it right now.

*Tom Wilson finally was able to score is first of the season with a nice forecheck and a turnover, Wilson has struggled offensively this season so maybe that the first one is out of the way he can get going now.

*For the second night in a row Marcus Johansson scored on a redirect off his leg, even though it was not conventional goals are goals and he puts himself in good position for those things to happen.

*Justin Williams scored his 7th goal of the season off a great pass by Jason Chimera. Right now Justin is finding his scoring touch and it is benefitting the Caps quite a bit.

*Braden Holtby played a huge part in the win last night, the Leafs out played the Caps especially in the first period but Holts came up with some big saves to keep the Caps in the game till the power play took the game over.

*Overall it was nice to end the week with another two points, and now they sit a top the Metro Division and still have a game in hand on the New York Rangers, and have a little bit of breathing room from the Pens and Islanders. The boys will have a few day off before what will be a huge test in Montreal.
