Tom Wilson, playoff hero.
The Washington Capitals pest fired home the winner in overtime to seal a 3-2 come-from-behind victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs in the opening game of the first-round playoff series Thursday night.
The Capitals fell behind 2-0 less than 10 minutes into the contest, but a pair of goals by Justin Williams drew Washington even before Wilson ended it about five minutes into the extra frame.
