Ovechkin's Goal Streak Powers Capitals to Victory Over Predators

Alex Ovechkin's late goal secures a 3-2 win for the Washington Capitals, extending their home winning streak to seven games.

Ovechkin's goal in the third period marked his fifth consecutive game scoring, making him only the third player aged 39 or older to achieve this feat.
The Capitals improved their record to 9-3-0, continuing their strong early-season performance with a seventh straight home win.
Despite early pressure from Nashville, Washington responded quickly with goals from Connor McMichael and Aliaksei Protas.
Nashville Predators continue to struggle, losing four of their last five games despite recent high-profile signings.
Ovechkin is now just 34 goals away from breaking Wayne Gretzky's all-time NHL career goals record.
