After having lost two games in a row before the break, Toronto returned playing at a higher level. The Maple Leafs beat the Detroit Red Wings to pick up a 5-2 road win of Friday. That game featured a hat trick from right winger Mitch Marner, and two assists for center John Tavarez.
Washington’s last game was in Boston on Monday, when the Capitals lost 4-1 to the Bruins. Prior to that, the Caps had won two games in a row and six of their last eight contests.
Saturday’s game will be the third and final regular season meeting of the year between the Capitals and Maple Leafs. The road team has won each of the first two – Toronto went into Washington and picked up a 4-3 overtime win back in mid-December, and then in early January the series shifted to Scotiabank Arena where the Capitals picked up a 3-1 win.
