Game Notes

TOR
•Kallgren (6-4-1, 3.48 GAA, .882 Sv%) will start for the Leafs
•Bunting left the game on Saturday night with an injury and it appears he'll miss some time from that. Nylander took his place on the top line in his absence but it's not clear if that will continue
•Matthews said after the game that he's hoping to play against Washington but him and Keefe both noted that they'll need to see how he's feeling tomorrow before having him play in a back-to-back
•Muzzin Watch is on as Keefe said on Saturday that it's possible he could make his return to the line-up here

WSH
•Vanecek (20-11-5, 2.60 GAA, .910 Sv%) will likely start for the Capitals
•Washington is still in a battle with Boston for "don't play Florida in R1" positioning. They currently sit in the 2nd wild card spot but are just 2 points behind Boston with both teams having 4 games remaining

Hoping for a strong game from Kallgren.

Hoping for a strong game from Kallgren.

Man, his numbers are going south fast.

Washington also has a shot at passing Pittsburgh, so they're in it for more than just not being swapped into the Atlantic division playoff bracket.

Not a fan of his game done ok since he got called up but needs some work on his game. Makes you think where this team would be with 2 competent goaltenders.  Looks like Jack is starting to round his game so let's hope that carries on into the playoffs otherwise we are done.

Don't get Abruzzese on the 1st line.  I haven't noticed him once.

[Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate]

Uh ... another American feed?

He made Keefe an offer he can't refuse

[Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate]

Did they just say Matthews idolized Ovechkin?

[Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate]

Uh ... another American feed?

Nevermind, found the SN feed

[L K]

Lyubushkin has had a few bad plays already tonight.  He's had one or two bad giveaways every game in the last few games

[Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate]

Good shot, but jeez Källgren....

[Bender]

Good shot, but jeez Källgren....

He's just not good enough.
