WASHINGTON -- Jakob Chychrun extended his goal streak to five games when he scored the go-ahead goal at 16:04 of the third period, and the Washington Capitals rallied for a 4-2 win against the Toronto Maple Leafs at Capital One Arena on Friday.

Jakob Chychrun scored his 10th goal on a one-timer with 3:56 left, and the Washington Capitals rallied from two goals down to defeat the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-2.

The defenseman scores for the fifth consecutive game as Washington rallies for its third straight victory, 4-2.

The Toronto Maple Leafs blew a 2-0 lead on Friday night against the Washington Capitals at Capital One Arena. The Leafs took a 2-1 lead into the third period, but couldn’t hold on.

The Leafs' loss to the Capitals was yet another example of how far they have fallen, and how far they look from being a playoff team.

The Toronto Maple Leafs got a huge boost from a rookie, who managed to save the team from another embarrassing loss.

For nine years, the postseason felt less like a goal for the Toronto Maple Leafs and more like a birthright. It is, of course, this incredibly consistent recent track record of (regular season) greatness that makes the current iteration of the last-place club so maddening.

For Joshua and Maccelli, “there’s no time to be the new guy anymore” — and they're running out of time to find their way with Toronto.

Maple Leafs defense under the microscope: who’s driving play, who’s lagging, and what the numbers really reveal at even strength.
