Both of Ovechkin's goals came in the first period, utilizing his big body like he was a Russian Mike Knuble.
"We have to play smart, we have to play simple, go to the net and find a gritty one," Ovechkin emphasized the need for increased traffic and bodies in front of the net.
Ovechkin's first goal came off a faceoff win by Dylan Strome. The rebound went right onto Ovechkin's blade where he deposited the biscuit into the yawning cage.
With 851 goals, Ovechkin now trails Wayne Gretzky by 43 - forty-three - for a share of the NHL's all-time goals record.
