This One is Deceiving… | Montreal Canadiens vs Washington Capitals
Alex Ovechkin had a goal and two assists for the Washington Capitals in a 6-3 win against Montreal Canadiens at Capital One Arena on Thursday.
Ovechkin has three goals in his past two games to bring his career total to 858; he needs 37 to pass Wayne Gretzky (894) for first on the NHL’s all-time goals list.
“He’s been awesome,” linemate Aliaksei Protas said. “The way he celebrates, you feel like it’s his first NHL goal when you know he’s chasing one of the unreal records. You see the look in his eyes, just feels happy to be there, celebrating like a kid. It’s special. That’s what makes him an unbelievable player and scorer, that’s for sure. That’s how hungry he is to score.”
Protas and Tom Wilson each had a goal and an assist for the Capitals (7-2-0), who have won five straight home games. Trevor van Riemsdyk and Dylan Strome each had two assists, and Charlie Lindgren made 13 saves.
Nick Suzuki had a goal and an assist, and Cole Caufield scored in his fourth straight game for the Canadiens (4-6-1). Lane Hutson had two assists, and Cayden Primeau made 28 saves.
“We’re going through some things right now, and the frustrating thing is it’s repeating mistakes by all of us,” Canadiens forward Brendan Gallagher said. “As individuals, I think we need to be more accountable toward the team. Once again, we’re sitting here disappointed. We lost a game we felt like we handed it to them.”

Really could have used the win, I thought it was going to happen multiple times tonight but, I’m still happy with how this game turned out. It feels like puzzle pieces are falling into place and the imagine becoming more clear. What did you think of the game? Let me know I want to hear from you!
Agreed. Not a bad game. Good analysis. Gotta score on the 5 on 3, though…no excuses. 😉
Matheson cannot be doing what he was doing tonight
Saw a lot of positives for this one! Despite the score
that behind of the net plays are really frustrating… when I see puck is behind our goal I get nervous because lately all pucks from there are going right to the stick of forwards and to our net… We got to be more decisive and strong around the goalie and not only in front but also the back…
Bababooey bababooey love the vid i have nothing to say but comment for the algo!!!!
