One week ago the Washington Capitals lost but Alex Ovechkin had one hell of a game with two goals and two assists. One of his assists was so filthy it’ll be on highlight reels to come. Entering today’s first Caps game in a week, he will be the player to watch against the Penguins.
Ovechkin’s 62 career points (36 goals, 26 assists) against the Penguins rank first among active players. Ovechkin’s two goals and two assists last Sunday against the Philadelphia Flyers were a season high four points.
