Ovechkin eyes goal No. 700 as Capitals visit Devils | |
Alex Ovechkin moved one step closer to 700 career goals on Thursday and will try to join that club when the Washington Capitals meet the Devils in a Saturday matinee in New Jersey. Ovechkin had not recorded a goal or a point in his past five games before scoring Washington's first goal in a 4-3 overtime loss against visiting Montreal. That was his 41st goal of the season and goal No. 699 of his career. He had a few more good chances to score, especially late in the third period, but Montreal goalie Carey Price stopped him each time. Still, Washington's recent defensive problems continued, even with the acquisition of veteran defenseman Brenden Dillon. MORE | |
