Alex Ovechkin Scores Twice but Gets Injured in Caps’ Victory Over Utah

The Capitals traveled to Salt Lake City for the first time to face the Utah Hockey Club, formerly known as the Arizona/Phoenix Coyotes. Washington dominated for the 6-2 victory to close out a three-game road trip sweep and improve to 13-4-1.

One day after recording a hat trick in Vegas, Alex Ovechkin continued his dominant run by scoring two goals in the contest, one in the first period and another in the second on a 5-on-3. The Great 8 now has a league-leading 15 goals on the season and 868 career goals, needing only 27 more to pass Wayne Gretzky.
