After a scoreless 60 minutes, of course it was Alex Ovechkin to lift the Capitals in the three-on-three extra period.
Alex Ovechkin broke the NHL record for the most goaltenders scored on, beating Leevi Merilainen in overtime to give the Capitals a 1-0 victory over the Senators. It was his 874th goal, 20 shy of Wayne Gretzky's mark of 894.
Sandin made a terrific effort in the defensive zone before lugging the puck up the ice and feeding Alex Ovechkin for his 874th career NHL goal. The 24-year-old Swede has four goals and 18 goals in 45 games thus far in the 2024-25 campaign.
Ovechkin’s goal also produced Washington’s 30th victory of the season – the Caps join Winnipeg as the second team in the League to reach that plateau in 2024-25 – and it helped Logan Thompson nail down his 20th victory of the season, and his second consecutive shutout.
