Tom Wilson scored 5:15 into overtime to lift the Washington
Capitals to a come-from-behind, 3-2 win over the Toronto Maple

Wilson stopped a clearing attempt in the Toronto zone, moved
into the right circle and fired high past Frederik Andersen for
his first career playoff goal.

Presidents' Trophy winners.
The Maple Leafs took a 2-0 lead on first-period goals by rookie
Mitchell Marner and Jake Gardiner. Williams answered with one in
the first period and one in the second. Andersen finished with
41 saves.

Corey Crawford to gain an extra attacker.
Arvidsson redirected a Filip Forsberg shot and past Crawford at
the 7:52 mark of the first period for the game's lone goal.
Ducks 3, Flames 2
Ryan Getzlaf and Jakob Silfverberg each had a goal and an
