"Alex Ovechkin opened the scoring on a faceoff play with the Capitals on a power play. Brendan Gallagher barely poked a loose puck over the goal line to tie the game. Ethen Frank scored two in a row within 1:38 to put the Capitals up two early in the second. Joe Veleno drew the Habs closer with a rip, and Jakob Chychrun pushed the Caps back ahead with one of his own."
"Referees seem to lose their minds a little at the Bell Centre. Alex Ovechkin scored his 905th, 906th, and 907th career goals, giving him markers in four straight games and his 33rd career hat trick. Ovechkin is now one of only three players in NHL history to record a four-game goal streak at age 40 or older, joining Jaromir Jagr (2012-13) and Dean Prentice (1972-73). GOAT behavior."
The Washington Capitals beat the Montreal Canadiens 8-4 with Alex Ovechkin scoring three times and multiple teammates adding goals. Ovechkin opened the scoring on a power-play faceoff play and completed his 33rd career hat trick with his second and third goals late in the game. The contest featured frequent penalties that limited five-on-five play and disrupted game flow. Ethen Frank scored twice, and Sonny Milano, Jakob Chychrun and Mike Matheson also contributed goals for Washington. Montreal responded through Brendan Gallagher, Joe Veleno and Nick Suzuki but could not overcome the Capitals’ scoring depth.
