Game Notes
TOR
?Frederik Andersen (33-16-14, 2.67 GAA, .918 Sv%) will start for the Leafs
?In his career Andersen is 17-9 in the playoffs with a .916 Sv%. He posted a .947 Sv% for the Ducks in 5 starts last year
?Nikita Zaitsev is confirmed to miss at least game 1 for the Leafs. Martin Marincin will suit up in his place. This will be Marincin's first game since March 14th
WSH
?Braden Holtby (42-13-6, 2.07 GAA, .925 Sv%) will start for the Capitals
?Holtby's career playoff save percentage is a ridiculous .937. Despite that he's only 22-24 in the post-season. Per @DimFilipovic, goalies who have played versus Holtby have put up a .932 Sv% against the Caps in the playoffs
?For what it's worth, in 2 appearances against the Leafs this season Holtby has just a .844 Sv% and 5.39 GAA
?John Carlson missed the last 4 games of Washington's season with a lower body injury. His return would bolster an already very impressive Caps blueline
