It's down to a best of five.

Thanks to Kasperi Kapanen's double-overtime winner in Saturday night's thrilling Game 2, the Washington Capitals and Toronto Maple Leafs will shift to the Air Canada Centre with a split.

After two closely contested games to open the first-round series, the top-seeded Capitals appear eager to find their next gear.

"We've been chasing this series a little bit," Caps head coach Barry Trotz told Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press. "It's been a little bit of an uphill battle, so it's been a test."

Trotz added, "They won a game in our building, so the series is on. It's on."

Entering the matchup, many expected the Presidents' Trophy winners to have their way with the inexperienced Maple Leafs, but two overtime results later, things don't look so lopsided.

Game 3 is slated for Monday night.
