The last time the Caps held a ceremony for Alexander Ovechkin they got clobbered by the Ottawa Senators 1-7. Tonight the Caps held a ceremony for Ovechkin again, this time for being the only player to hit 900 goals. This time they didn’t disappoint, scraping out a win for the good guys.
Plus: The Caps did allow three goals but they also only allowed 20 shots which is good stuff. More often than not they’d let in less than three goals.
Minus: At the end of the first period, the Caps gave up a last minute goal after a turnover by John Carlson.
