Ovie must have watched a lot of NFL this season because he declined a penalty after it was called Wednesday night.

Even the Vegas Golden Knights' Twitter account acknowledged Ovechkin's actions.

It is unclear if this has ever happened before, but I can't imagine it'll happen too often. The NHL probably doesn't want this sort of thing to become commonplace, but it is definitely better than diving.
