The Brick Woll Stands Tall Once More: The Leafs continue their road trip with a 4-1 win over the Capitals in Washington!

They also discuss the play of John Tavares and William Nylander, Morgan Rielly getting on the board, and Alexander Ovechkin finally breaking through with his first goal of the year as well.
