Keys to the Game:

1. Be consistent all 60 minutes

The Capitals need to play a full 60 minutes against the Maple Leafs. Last game against the Los Angeles Kings, the Capitals dominated the first 40 minutes, but took their foot off the gas in the third period. The Capitals needs to keep the consistency all 60 minutes.
