Did Alex Ovechkin score? Nope. However, he did register two lovely assists, which gave him 700 helpers in his career and put him into yet another elite club of players to have 700 goals and 700 assists.
…but no, no goals.
Plus: There was a lot to like about the Capitals’ play all around tonight, but there was something really special about seeing Jakub Vrana, on his first shot in his first game back with the Capitals, scoring the game’s first goal – 1316 days after the last time he scored at home as a Capital.
