Then after both teams traded powerplay opportunities it would be the Capitals striking to tie the game as John Carlson would blast a bullet past Frederik Andersen to tie the game at one. Both teams would powerplay opportunities again, including a two man advantage for Toronto, but neither team would capitalize on their opportunities as the game would remain tied at one going into the first intermission.

     

    In the second period the Capitals would strike on the powerplay to take the 2-1 lead when John Carlson would score his second of the game, but then the Capitals would do a march to the penalty box to allow the Leafs to take back the momentum. Then in the final minute of the second Auston Matthews would get one past Braden Holtby to tie the game at two as they entered the intermission.

     

    In the third period the Capitals and Leafs would trade goals once again as Auston Matthews would score his second of the game to give the Leafs the 3-2 lead, but then Alex Ovechkin would score his tenth of the season to tie the game and send it to overtime. then in overtime the Maple Leafs would put themselves into penalty trouble and the Capitals would take advantage as Ovechkin would score his second of the game to secure the Capitals the 4-3 overtime victory to close out their five game road trip.
