There is no denying that Alexander Ovechkin is unstoppable right now and everyone would be very surprised if he didn’t end up scoring the remaining 200 goals that he needs to reach Wayne Gretzky’s record. Coming fresh off a win on Tuesday against the Buffalo Sabres, the Ottawa Senators were hoping to get some kind of winning streak going against the Washington Capitals.
The first period looked to set the tone for what looked to be a long game. With four minutes into the game, John Carlson made the perfect pass to T.J Oshie who gives the Caps the lead for the game.
