"The Capitals captain then followed that up with his 902nd career goal, tying the game 2-2 with 11:31 remaining. Ovechkin made the play despite being tripped after a faceoff. He eventually got up and camped out in front of the crease. As Connor McMichael sent a shot attempt wide to the net, Ovechkin caught the biscuit and immediately slid it under Devils goaltender Jake Allen."

The Capitals could not take the lead, though, and the team eventually fell in the shootout. Ovechkin had a shootout attempt in the fourth round, but despite deking Allen to the ice, he could not pot a goal."
