Toronto at Washington

Rebuilding Toronto is in last place, which is no surprise. They are #27 in goals scored and allowed with bottom eight specialty units. The Maple Leafs capped a 1-2-1 homestand with a 2-1 overtime loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Friday to fall to a league-worst 2-8-3. Toronto averted a shutout with 62 seconds to play, but has been limited to one goal or less seven times. Toronto is on a 10-43 run, including 9-45 on the road. The Leafs played last night and this is their third game in four nights, while Washington is rested and on a roll. The Capitals continued their domination of the Boston Bruins with a 4-1 victory Thursday and the team is 16-0-3 against the Atlantic Division. The Caps are top 10 in the NHL in goals scored, allowed and with specialty units. With Toronto a miserable 4-24 against a team with a winning record, grab the rested home team and play Washington.
