"The play was all made possible by defenseman Martin Fehervary, who intercepted a pass and took a hit to make a play. Fehervary crashed into the boards, but moved the puck ahead to Ovechkin, striding in neutral. The Capitals captain then skated down, looked off Aliaksei Protas, and beat Blackhawks goaltender Drew Commesso to the far side of the net."
"The NHL's all-time goals leader, Alex Ovechkin, extended his lead to 22 over second-place Wayne Gretzky after scoring against the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday. Ovechkin notched the 916th goal of his career, with 6:27 remaining in the game, to put a cap on the Washington Capitals' 5-1 win over the Chicago Blackhawks. The goal marked Ovi's 19th of the season."
Alex Ovechkin scored the 916th goal of his career with 6:27 remaining, extending his lead to 22 over Wayne Gretzky and marking his 19th goal of the season. The goal completed a 5-1 victory for the Washington Capitals. Defenseman Martin Fehervary intercepted a pass, absorbed contact, moved the puck to Ovechkin, who skated in neutral, faked off Aliaksei Protas, and beat Drew Commesso. The goal was Ovechkin's fourth in three games, leaving him one goal shy of a 21st career 20-goal season and on pace for 35 goals at age 40. Commesso became the 187th different goalie Ovechkin has scored on after Chicago's starters were sidelined by a flu; his backup was emergency goaltender Dave Nozzolillo.
