An old friend returns and a superstar continues chasing history as the Chicago Blackhawks host the Washington Capitals at the United Center on Tuesday night.
The two main storylines in this game feature Dylan Strome’s first game in Chicago since leaving in free agency last summer and Alex Ovechkin continuing his pursuit of career goal No. 800. Ovechkin is up to 797 after scoring in Washington’s 5-2 win over the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday night. It was the fourth goal in three games for Ovechkin, while the Capitals picked up their fourth win in a row — part of a 7-2-1 stretch that’s helped Washington right the ship after a miserable stretch of play in November.
