Live blog: Capitals look to get some revenge on the Maple Leafs

Hello everyone! The long road trip is over and the Washington Capitals are back home to hopefully get some revenge on the Toronto Maple Leafs for that bad loss the other week.

The Penguins lost to the Flyers so this game is a great chance for the Caps to try and move up in the Eastern Conference playoff seeding.

Vitek Vanecek is back in net after he shut out the Arizona Coyotes. The game is on ESPN+.
