Alex Ovechkin Makes Insane Between-the-Legs Play on Clutch Goal
Alex Ovechkin scored goal number 788 earlier tonight, putting him 13 behind Gordie Howe on the all-time list and 106 behind Wayne Gretzky's record for most ever. The Great-8's goal scoring prowess speaks for itself, but every now and again we are reminded of the Russian's ability to dish the puck.
In tonight's barn-burner against Edmonton, Ovi and the Caps were leading 4-3 in the third when the captain found his countrymen, Evgeny Kuznetsov, with a fantastic pass:
The Caps took this one by a score 5-4, so Kuznetsov's tally wound up the game-winner. They held off the Oilers' attack, pushing the Capitals back to .500 (6-6-2). They play their rival Pittsburgh Penguins - who are in a brutal way right now - on Wednesday night.
