Tom Wilson plays hero for Capitals in Game 4 win over Maple Leafs
TORONTO — It’s not always the big names that are going to win you games in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
That was proven Wednesday night as Capitals forward Tom Wilson scored twice and saved a goal from his own net in Washington’s 5-4 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 4.
“I think it’s that time of year, there’s been some fabulous heroes, not always the ones that you think are going to be there,” Caps coach Barry Trotz said following the win. “Obviously the big names are always there, but I just think he played the right way today.
“He’s a growing young player who is physically very strong and he’s grown to be a good penalty killer and his game continues to grow. Real happy for him.”
