Maple Leafs @ Capitals 3/20 | NHL Highlights 2024

And some lineup changes for both teams as  they’re dealing with injuries and illness   caps won’t have TJ ooshi or Alexi protus tonight  so OB cubel and Scar Bosa come into the lineup   for Washington and for Sheldon ke no Ryan Reed  so in comes Noah Gregor in that spot and Austin  

Matthews Wast no time and scoring 16 seconds  in the fans hadn’t even sat down yet what a   start that is as compared to last night’s game  in Philly where the Leafs gave up an early one   in the and preparation is exactly what Sheldon  Keef talked about in the pregame speech as well  

Win the face off D to D stretch pass bumped by  doy and right here it looks like the Caps had   control of the puck Matthews wins a bit of  a battle doy goes behind the net and right  

On the tape and Austin Matthews just has to fire  this in no protection whatsoever tough start for   the Washington Capitals after a great final few  games there on the road after losing the first   two a chance for stro marenko and rolled off  his stick and gotten in behind neander great  

Opportunity they can’t connect now with neander  the other way snaps one and scores oh what a shot oh what a shot this is right hand shot going  over the short side and of course the glove side  

Is is the other side for Charlie lingren but  not much there from yeah and then here we go   here with the long pass by Taris and he’s got some  speed on the outside and it’s a lethal wrist shot  

It is so hard I’m sure from the goalie’s point  of view to find that puck off it off his stick   with that right hand that big curve that he’s  got on right here but he goes to the short side  

Somehow doesn’t pull it to the far side and that  is an excellent shot out for Carlson take away   the pass Vin work it on the near wall off the air  converged on by C and this allows bed to get over  

But he whipped on the clearing attempt caps  keep it in Carl in the middle of the ice oin scores a power play goal for Alex oetkin 844 great play by Carlson they waited kind of  split the ice in half a little bit you see how  

High oetkin was originally then he move down  down down and there it is Matthews takes it   out High Shadow him the pass went through little  he’s able to retrieve it shovel it down behind   the goal line doing Matthews Matthews watchs by  Dow Matthews shut scores the screen provided by  

Berzi and Matthews has his second tonight this  had no business getting through and finding its   way inside the post came back to the the blue line  and and you can see there’s Edmonson in the corner   right there on the four check doy plays it back  back Matthews looks surveys it and this little  

Rer here doesn’t hit anything berzi does go to  the front of the net that caused a little bit of   a disturbance but it does not touch anybody just  a flat saucer of a wrer that has eyes he opens up  

The blade a little bit and he’s got his second  of the game and it is the Austin Matthews and   oetkin goal scoring show that’s a new Le’s record  by the way with 16 multi-goal games in a season  

Austin Matthews who was closing in on 60 and then  chance to hit 70 still very much alive as sandine   shot wide mcel scores Conor mcel Banks it off of  wall from below the goal line and just 34 seconds  

Later the capitals get back within one bounce back  they’re not going to go away here they enter the   zone and this one was shot wide by a ton but it  goes right on the tape and you can see the stick  

Might have been held up there by sine and then  look at the way mcel Banks it right off the left   arm of the goal tender Joseph wall perfect bank  shot right into the net found an open DOI slids  

It over Ben W drops to the back hand Matthews and  oetkin oh Matthews pulled it off the boards with a   centering feed held in by DOI quick change to get  away from McMichael now benw down for Matthews T  

Bangle makes the pass Tim Let It Go rebound scores  right away so the entry in the zone watch the   right side your screen boy bzi looks like he’s  about a half a foot off side on the right side  

You see stop it you know he’s trying to stretch  out here but doy’s the puck carrier and you need   to have that discipline to stay onside this looked  to me like by the eye test that that it is offside  

Do’s taking a quick look at it Matthew’s taking a  look at forther review it was determined that the   play was off siiz we have no goal to play we set  the call to 341 please well you don’t get the Hat  

Back but the goal comes off the board chose hockey  here he is for doy doy R shot scores doy shot   deflected by mccave out in front and a late goal  here in the period gives the least their two goal  

Lead oh scoring early in periods as they have done  scoring late in periods those are momentum gainers   and sappers on the other side for sure nullifying  the goal because of an offside situation off the   face off backand pass there by Austin Matthews  and dol’s had a good game here working alongside  

Matthews and here’s the play off the pants of the  defenseman mccab lot of movement there late in   the period they got nander on the ice as well so a  good line change in the offens of zone for Sheldon

Ke van W will pick it up from his own end ran it  right through the leafes bench while they were   trying to make a change leads to a turnover  and a chance for scrome all sorts of t oin scores Matthews has two oin  has two and it’s a one goal

Game there’s the play right here look at the  change by that the the leaps right there got   three of them right there you can throw  a baby blanket over them turnover result   look watch stro he’s walking right  down Main Street and some out he  

Still passes the puck over there to oetkin  the least likely of all option it’s he in   the tender right there oh my goodness but  yet he gets it to oetkin and oetkin still scores what a reaction comes out for alexv  over for Carlson bounce wide alexv cominging  

Down the board s’s got a poke on it sends  it out for neander neander moves into the   Zone Riley to the goal neander down low  scores neander made the pass to Bobby   McMahon and the Leafs have the answer  again oh lingren will be frustrated  

About this one right there cuz he was in  the spot he went to his right you can see   neander looks like he’s going to shoot Carlson  challenges him and yeah hangs on sticks to the side battle for the pocket it’s doy Matthews  behind his back Fort he scores a behind the  

Back pass for Austin Matthews for berzi it’s  two goals and 38 seconds for Toronto enters   the offensive zone again and there’s  the play right here McMichael thinks   he’s got it he get stripped to the puck  right there good footwork there by doy  

Doy plays it right out front and boy oh boy  did he make this one look easy here you see   Austin Matthews is going one way backhand pass  to the backand and yet berus is able to take  

That from his backand here he’s got a little  toe curve on his stick but he doesn’t flip   it all the way in it goes underneath the  arm and the side of the body and through Matthews gains the line into the slopper Kneeland  Lander pushed it over for Taris the back Cann and  

He scores they worked it all the way down  to the final 13 seconds of the power play   and John Taris makes it 7 to3 for Toronto yeah  it’s a slow developing play entering into the  

Zone by the time it got to to veras he just  goes forehand back in and hoist that up over   the golender playing so well on the road the  long travel Day always the toughest one when  

You come back off the road a road trip and uh  end up playing on on home ice and certainly   Taris here makes this look easy off the right  skate off the back hand and and again not going  

Up over the shoulder and under the bar and in  a lot of these pucks have found their way just   through the holes of ly grenan but they run away  with it in third cury behind a five-point night   from Austin Matthews win their 39th game of  the season 73 over the Washington Capitals
