The Toronto Maple Leafs are looking to continue their hot streak as they face the Washington Capitals on Friday night. With three consecutive victories and 10 wins in their last 12 games, including a strong third period performance against the Nashville Predators, the Maple Leafs hope to maintain their momentum. The Caps will seek revenge for their recent overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.
The Toronto Maple Leafs are hoping to stay hot on Friday night when the Washington Capitals come to town.
The Capitals will be out to avenge a 4-3 overtime home loss to the Maple Leafs on Nov. 13, a game they led 3-1 after two periods. The Maple Leafs tied the game with two goals in the final 4:09 of the third period. Marner tied it with 58 seconds left and set up John Tavares for the game-winning goal at 4:13 of overtime.“I think it gives us some confidence that we can play well because I felt we did a really nice job for two periods through that game,” Carbery said on Wednesday.
“I thought tonight was his best game,” Toronto coach Craig Berube said of Matthews on Wednesday. “I know he scored but to me he had his legs more tonight. He had his legs better and skated better and capitalized on his opportunities he got which is important, that’s what he does. But over all, it’s coming, it’s coming.”
“I thought we defended well in the game and that’s a very important part of our identity is playing good defence and defending and you’ve got to be patient,” Berube said. “You can’t force things and I thought we didn’t do that. In the third, we got a little bit more mojo going and attacked a little bit more and created some more opportunities.”
