The Washington Capitals lost to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Alex Ovechkin scored his 900th career NHL goal in an unexpected fashion, with Jakob Chychrun recording the lone assist and valuing being part of the milestone. Blues' goalie Jordan Binnington attempted to hide the puck in his pants after the goal. Statistical analysis reinforces Ovechkin's status as the greatest goal scorer in NHL history. The Capitals–Penguins rivalry carries a different resonance for Russian fans, centering on Ovechkin and Evgeni Malkin rather than Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby. Additional recaps, game videos, morning skate notes, and birthday acknowledgments were included.
