Jason Chimera had a goal and an assist as the Washington Capitals extended their winning streak to five games with a 4-2 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night at Air Canada Centre.

Tom Wilson, Marcus Johansson and Justin Williams rounded out the scoring for the visitors, who improved to 7-2-0 on the road and 17-5-1 overall.

Peter Holland and Leo Komarov replied for the Maple Leafs, who turned to Jonathan Bernier in net with regular starter James Reimer out with a lower-body injury. It was the third straight loss for Toronto (7-11-5), now 3-5-3 at home and last in the Eastern Conference standings.

Chimera opened the scoring at 3:43 of the first period by floating a rolling puck past Bernier, who made his first start in almost two weeks and is still looking for his first victory of the season (0-8-1).

The Capitals, playing their second game in two nights, appeared sluggish in the early going. They made a number of sloppy passes and Toronto took advantage to pull even.

Holland cut off a pass to give the Leafs possession in the Washington end. Dion Phaneuf chipped the puck on goal from a bad angle, with Holland one-timing the rebound through traffic at 6:13.
