"In the second period of the Capitals' 6-1 rout, Ovechkin intercepted Binnington's pass to teammate Nathan Walker. The puck eventually found Washington defenseman Jakob Chychrun for a shot from the point that bounced off the end boards. Ovechkin collected the rebound and quickly slid a backhand shot into the Blues' net for his third goal of the season. The NHL's all-time leading goal scorer was now its first 900-goal scorer, too."
"As the Capitals celebrated with Ovechkin, Binnington nudged the puck out of the net with his stick and picked it up with his goalie glove. He tucked his stick under his arm, pulled his hand out of his blocker and plucked the puck from his glove. He then tucked the disc into the back of his pants, in full view of TNT's cameras."
Alex Ovechkin became the first NHL player to score 900 career goals. The goal came in the second period of Washington's 6-1 win after Ovechkin intercepted Jordan Binnington's pass to Nathan Walker, collected a rebound from a Jakob Chychrun shot, and slid a backhand into the net for his third goal of the season. Binnington retrieved the puck, tucked it into the back of his pants on camera, and later handed it to an official after a discussion with linesman Michel Cormier. Ovechkin posed for photos with the milestone puck in the Capitals' locker room. Binnington was pulled after allowing four goals on 15 shots.
