Did Alex Ovechkin score? Heck yeah he did, and it was a power play tally! Career goal 860, boys and girls and babes.
Plus: The Washington Capitals scored on the power play! Coming into tonight’s game, the Caps were 2-for-33 on the man-advantage and an even worse 0-for-9 on the road. That stat improved just a smidge with Ovechkin’s 5-on-3 goal in the final minutes of the first.
Minus: Dmitry Orlov scored two goals tonight…for the Carolina Hurricanes. Not cool, Dima, not cool.
Our Three Stars:
*** Dmitry Orlov (2G)
** Charlie Lindgren (40 saves)
* Alex Ovechkin (1G)
