OVECHKIN SHINES: Washington Capitals DEFENSE DELIVERS Punch, Alex Ovechkin SCORES, Jets FALL
Ovechkin's goal gave Washington the lead in a 4-3 win, marking his sixth goal in six games and extending Capitals' strong recent performance, officials said.
- On Wednesday, Alex Ovechkin scored his 908th career NHL goal, leading the Washington Capitals to a 4-3 win over the Winnipeg Jets, with the goal coming on a turn-and-lob against Eric Comrie.
- John Carlson opened the scoring 6:38 into the first on a one-timer from Tom Wilson and is tied with Cale Makar for the NHL lead in goals by a defenceman.
- The Jets responded with two Gabriel Vilardi goals, including his second on a power-play deflection to open the second period, while Mark Scheifele also scored and Comrie stopped 30 shots.
- Lindgren's 18 saves helped secure the Capitals' win, and both teams play Friday with the Jets visiting the Hurricanes and the Capitals hosting the Maple Leafs.
- Ovechkin's recent surge continues as he has six goals in six games and scored on Eric Comrie, the 186th goaltender he's scored on; Chychrun extended his goal streak to four games.
