The Caps looked poised to beat the Maple Leafs after losing all three meetings last season before a late third-period comeback by Toronto led to an overtime defeat.

After the Maple Leafs had a goal by Steven Lorentz disallowed midway through the third period, Nylander made it 3-2 at 15:51. Matthew Knies intercepted Tom Wilson’s pass at the blue line and drove to the net before Nylander tapped in the rebound.

The Washington Capitals' Dylan Strome and the Toronto Maple Leafs' Mitchell Marner are two of the most exciting players to watch when these teams face off on Wednesday at 7:30 PM ET, at Capital One Arena.
