Alexander Ovechkin moved one step closer to tying an NHL record on Saturday night, as he deposited his 50th and 51st goals into the back of the net for the Washington Capitals.
Ovechkin and the Capitals were a part of a big Saturday for teams in the Metropolitan Division, as they beat Presidents' Trophy winner Tampa Bay and the New York Islanders clinched a playoff berth.
The Islanders secured the 10th playoff berth for the 2019 Stanley Cup playoffs, as they handled Buffalo to extend their winning streak to two games.
With less than a week left in the regular season, the third-place positions in the Atlantic and Metropolitan Divisions need to be secured, as do all four wild-card berths.
