The Leafs were on the back foot from the beginning of the first, as they got into some serious penalty trouble, and fell behind by three in the first ten minutes. They were outchanced 8-2 overall, and 5-2 at ES. They did manage to get a critical goal from Troy Bodie in the closing minutes, to keep their chances alive.
The Leafs were much improved in the second period, but despite a goal from Dion Phaneuf, the team had a difficult time turning their zone time into scoring chances, until a powerplay shortly after the mdiway point. From then, Toronto outchanced Washington 6-1 overall in the last 10 minutes of the period, but couldn't find an equalizer.
Toronto weren't able to chase down the lead in the third, and really didn't mount much pressure in the last five minutes. They weren't able to outchance the Capitals in the closing frame, and a late penalty broke up a potential closing flurry.
Washington were able to outchance the Leafs at ES, not just in the poor Leafs opening period, but also the third, where, as mentioned, their chase was quite poor. The Leafs were able to outchance Washington 5-on-5 close, mostly due to their strong second period.

Another quiet game from the top line, to the point where they were broken up for a while, with Lupul given a run out in Van Riemsdyk's place. In particular, Kessel had a poor game, a -4 and on for only 2 Leaf chances. Nazem Kadri also finished at -4, as did Joffrey Lupul. The successful line was, yet again, Kulemin with Bodie and Raymond, with the Russian the top Leaf in the game at +4.
Franson had the best of the defense, the only positive one at +2 Gardiner was also solid, going even, with Phaneuf bringing up the rear on the back end, at -2. The return to seven defensemen meant that Gleason had one of his lowest ice time numbers since his arrival, under 9 minutes.

As mentioned, Ovechkin wasn't anything particularly special, at least at even strength. In fact, there were few standouts for the Capitals, with most of all of the team falling between +2 and -1. The top players were Green, Chimera and Fehr, with Carrick, Penner and Backstrom the three negative players.
Players with nice chance numbers:
Toronto - Nikolai Kulemin, Troy Bodie, Mason Raymond
Washington - Mike Green, Jason Chimera, Eric Fehr
Players with poor chance numbers:
Toronto - Joffrey Lupul, Nazem Kadri, Phil Kessel
Washington - Connor Carrick, Dustin Penner, Niklas Backstrom
