Nastya Ovechkina helped end the Capitals' losing streak by cooking for the whole team again: 'It seems like making borscht will become a must'

"After being super-powered by the Eastern European delicacy, the Capitals score the most goals in a single game this season, and Ovechkin hit a long-awaited milestone. The Capitals captain became the first player in NHL history to score 900 career goals after he backhanded a Jakob Chychrun rebound past Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington just 2:39 into the game's second period."

"Ovechkina and her two sons, Sergei and Ilya, were in attendance at Capital One Arena to see Ovechkin celebrate his massive achievement. The 6-1 triumph also featured two goals from Ovechkin's linemate, Anthony Beauvillier, and three goals from his long-time teammates, Tom Wilson and John Carlson. The victory catapulted the Capitals out of a tie for last in the Eastern Conference standings and back into a playoff spot."

The Washington Capitals entered the game on a four-game losing streak, having scored just five total goals while captain Alex Ovechkin recorded no points. Nastya Ovechkina prepared borscht for the whole team before the matchup against the St. Louis Blues. The Capitals won 6-1, their highest goal total of the season, and Ovechkin scored his 900th career goal by backhanding a Jakob Chychrun rebound past Jordan Binnington 2:39 into the second period. Ovechkina and her sons attended the game. Anthony Beauvillier scored twice, Tom Wilson and John Carlson combined for three goals, and the victory moved the team back into a playoff spot. Ovechkina previously made borscht in 2020-21 before an 8-1 win over the Boston Bruins.
