Alex Ovechkin had another memorable game with not only scoring his 30th goal of the season but a hat trick and goal behind a Penguins legend to boot. The Washington Capitals came out firing in the first period and things started out a bit frustrating.
First there was a ding off a cross bar, then a goal by Carl Hagelin was overturned for offsides. Then things escalated when Miles Wood high sticked Ovechkin in the face, with no call and plenty of blood. Ovechkin was angry, as he should be and took out that frustration in one of his best games of the season.
