"I think we moved well," Ovechkin said. "Breakouts, neutral zone, and obviously offensive zone we have very good chances. So we just have to keep rolling and play the same way."
"If it was like, 'I don't have any chances,' it (would have been), like, 'Oh sh-.' But no, chances were there," Ovechkin said. "Just sometimes you just have to be patient. One goes in and hope next game is going to be more."
"Obviously great pass by O, just driving the net, and he did the rest," Strome said. "Nice to get on the board; always feels good to get the first one out of the way."
Alex Ovechkin scored his first goal of the season and added an assist in a two-point night. Dylan Strome scored two goals and added two assists for the third four-point performance of his career. The top line combined for three goals and seven points in a 5-1 victory over the Minnesota Wild. The scoring began late in the first period after a rush from the defensive end, with a pass through defenseman Jake Middleton leading to a tipped goal past Filip Gustafsson. Movement through breakouts, the neutral zone, and the offensive zone generated sustained chances and a decisive win.
