After Ilya Samsonov was pulled from the game after giving up three goals on four shots, Joseph Woll took over and stopped all 29 shots he faced in a win over Tampa. The performance has sparked a discussion about whether the Toronto Maple Leafs should make Woll the starter.
Joseph Woll has been so good today. Caps are outshooting Toronto 18-5, but canโt get anything by Woll. Then, he waits out Alex Ovechkin on the penalty shot, stayed with him the whole way and made the blocker save look easy. Such great patience for a young goalie in a big spot.
Woll saves the shot from Ovi. It remains 1-0 TOR.
Backstrom finally puts it on the PP after so many chances in front of Woll. Just a mess there. 1-0 WSH
Backstrom scores on scramble in front at 4:15 for PPG 1-0 Capitals, who have their first lead of the season.
Wild traffic in front leads to a power-play goal for Nicklas Backstrom, who finds the loose puck in front and buries it after a wild scramble.
Backstrom. 1-0.
Brodie blocks one Ovechkin one-timer, Woll stops another.
