Loss For Toskala

Well, today the Leafs were unable to defeat the Capitals, unlike last night when they beat them 3-2. So, looks like Toskala collected a loss, bringing his total losses this season to 14.

Sadly, I think this will bring his save percentage back down to 0.906%, after last night it went up 0.001% from their win. Thankfully though, this can not bring down his goals against average, as the capitals only managed to score two goals.

The first goal against Toskala was 13:05 into the game, when the capitals had a power play due to a hooking call on Ian White, and Laich managed to score for the Capitals, with the assist going to Ovechkin, along with Fleischmann.

The second period proved to be a scoreless period for both the Toronto Maple Leafs, and the Washington Capitals.

In the third, the scoring picked up a bit. It started at 4:54 into the period, where Devereaux scored for the Maple Leafs, making it a tie game at 1-1. Sadly, less than a minute later, Kozlov, scored on Toskala, with yet another assist from Ovechkin, and Backstrom's first assist of the night.

That was the last of the scoring for today's game, and the game sadly ended 2-1, with the win going to the Capitals.

The next game is a few days away, on Tuesday Jan, 29th, the first day back after the all star game break. The time of the game is 7:30MP ET. The game will be aired on Sportsnet. As it seems to always be, you can listen in on XM Satellite Radio, station 207.

The all star game is on Sunday, Jan. 27th, at 6:00PM ET. The main station it will be aired on is CBC, but it will also be aired on Versus, and RDS. You can listen in on XM Satellite Radio station 204, although I don't know why you would want to miss the game, as it will be a great game!
