The Washington Capitals look to eliminate the Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 6 of their first round series. Here’s how you can watch.

The first round series between the Washington Capitals and Toronto Maple Leafs has proven to be a very exciting one. Both teams have won two straight games at some point during their best of seven battle. Game 5 saw the Caps almost lose their captain Alex Ovechkin, but he returned. The end result of Friday’s game saw Justin Williams score the game winning goal. With the win, the Caps have a 3-2 series lead of the Maple Leafs. On Sunday, the series goes back to Canada for Game 6.

Toronto faces a must win scenario in Game 6. They’ve let Washington win two straight games. While the Maple Leafs out-chanced the Caps on Friday, they failed to generate enough traffic in front of goaltender Braden Holtby to get the goal they needed. Now head coach Mike Babcock must rally his troops in hopes of extending the series and taking it back to Washington for Game 7.

On the other side of the ice, the Caps look to end this excellent series. Every game so far has been decided by one goal. Holtby has been an x-factor the past two games. He seems to be seeing the puck very well, so the momentum appears to favor the Caps.

Toronto has been very good at home this season, but they must fix their power play. They got opportunities in Game 5 but failed to convert. Washington will look to avoid a Game 7 as they look to cement a second round rematch against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
