Washington Capitals (M1) vs. Toronto Maple Leafs (WC2)
The tightest series of the first round has surprisingly been the one between the Presidents Trophy champion and a team that squeaked into the playoffs in the final days of the regular season. The Toronto Maple Leafs have gone toe-to-toe with what looked like a much stronger adversary when the bracket was solidified, and yet the majority of games in the series have been decided in overtime.
Each team has claimed two extra-time victories, with a one-goal regulation win by the Capitals the difference in the series. If the Leafs can make it a sixth straight one-goal decision tonight, they’ll be in good shape to force a seventh game in DC on Tuesday.
