Overview

  • Alex Ovechkin tipped a Jakob Chychrun shot past Stuart Skinner at 6:04 of the first period for his 904th career goal, putting Washington up 2-0.
  • With the tally, Ovechkin tied Gordie Howe for the most goals at a single venue across regular season and playoffs with 480 at Capital One Arena and extended his regular-season single-venue record to 443, per NHLPR.
  • Washington secured consecutive wins for the first time since Oct. 21–24, beating Edmonton 7-4 behind Ryan Leonard’s first career two-goal game and two late empty-netters from Tom Wilson.
  • Connor McMichael and John Carlson each recorded three assists, and Logan Thompson made 26 saves as the Oilers held a 28-21 shots edge.
  • Ovechkin has goals in three straight and four of his last five games; two nights earlier he set the NHL mark for most regular-season goals at one venue and logged his 150th combined game-winning goal, leaving him one behind Jaromir Jagr.
