Capitals send the Leafs home

Marcus Johansson stuffed his second goal of the game past Frederik Andersen at 6 minutes, 31 seconds of overtime, lifting the visiting Washington Capitals to a serieswinning, 2-1, victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 6 on Sunday night.

Johansson pulled Washington even at 1-1 with less than eight minutes to go in the third period after Auston Matthews broke a scoreless tie with his fourth goal of the series for Toronto. It was the fifth overtime game of the series, and the record-setting 18th in the first round of the playoffs.

Andersen was sharp with 34 saves.

Senators 3, Bruins 2: Clarke MacArthur scored a power-play goal 6:30 into overtime and Ottawa beat host Boston to win their first-round playoff series in six games.

Craig Anderson stopped 28 shots for Ottawa, which advanced in the postseason for the first time since 2013. The Senators will play the New York Rangers in the second round.

Tuukka Rask made 26 saves for the Bruins, and Boston got goals from Drew Stafford and Patrice Bergeron.

Bobby Ryan and Kyle Turris scored for Ottawa five minutes apart in the second to give the Senators a 2-1 lead. But Bergeron tied it early in the third to force overtime for the fourth time in the series.
