Highlights of Friday's NHL games

Capitals 2, Maple Leafs 1

Capitals winger Justin Williams scored 64 seconds into overtime as Washington won a 2-1 thriller over the Toronto Maple Leafs to take a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series.

Williams' third goal of the playoffs and the 36th of his career in the postseason was keyed by a big faceoff win from Jay Beagle and then set up from assists by Marcus Johansson and Evgeny Kuznetsov.

Williams beat Toronto goalie Frederik Andersen through the five-hole and jumped into the arms of his team mates to celebrate a hard-fought win.

"To win a championship, you have to relish these moments and come up big in these moments," Williams said.

Bruins 3, Senators 2 (double overtime)

Rookie Sean Kuraly was re-inserted into the Boston Bruins lineup on Friday because, in the words of coach Bruce Cassidy, "He's good at getting on pucks." As it turns out, he's also pretty good at putting them in the net in clutch situations.

Kuraly scored twice in Friday's 3-2 double overtime victory, including the winner, to lift the Bruins back into their opening round best-of-seven with the Ottawa Senators at Canadian Tire Centre.

The Senators lead the series 3-2 with the venue switching to Boston for Game 6 on Sunday afternoon.
