After struggling to score in the Capitals’ first three games, Digi Ovi has found the net in two straight. And not a moment too soon.
The Russian machine scored twice against the Leafs, including the game-winning goal to eke out a squeaker 3-2.
Digi Ilya Samsonov got the win. The virtual Caps have now won five straight.

Five games in, I can’t believe I’m writing recaps of simulated hockey games. But please keep heeding Dr. Fauci’s words. Stay inside and stay safe. It’s inconvenient. It’s scary. But eventually, we’ll get through this… together.
Dr. Fauci: "This is tough. People are suffering. People are dying…This is going to be the answer to our problems. So, let's all pull together and make sure, as we look forward to the next 30 days, we do it with all the intensity and force that we can." pic.twitter.com/kq9yfI5Xxa
