Capitals: 5 Under-Appreciated Goals in the Ovechkin Era

It should go without saying that the Washington Capitals have scored a lot of goals since Alexander Ovechkin joined the club in 2005-2006. Ovechkin himself has scored over 771 goals since his debut (playoff goals included). Since he joined the team, the Caps have consistently been a playoff team, making it to the dance in 12 of Ovi’s 15 seasons. This means that there have been a lot of big goals scored in that time.

Some big goals include Joel Ward’s series-winning goal in 2012 against the Boston Bruins. Another huge goal would be Lars Eller’s Stanley-Cup winning tuck in game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
