"Duhaime's goal caused Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky to yank starting goalie Yaroslav Askarov, who stopped eight of 12 shots, in favor of Alex Nedeljkovic. The move did little to inspire or wake up the Sharks, as Ovechkin, playing in what might be his final game in San Jose, scored his second goal, again from right beside the Sharks' net, for a 5-0 Capitals lead at the 2:41 mark of the second."
"Ovechkin, playing in what might be his final game in San Jose, scored his second goal, again from right beside the Sharks' net, for a 5-0 Capitals lead at the 2:41 mark of the second. Dylan Strome and Leonard both added goals to round out the scoring for the Capitals, handed the Sharks their most lopsided home loss of the season."
"Dmitry Orlov scored hist first of the season for the Sharks' lone goal at the 12:58 mark of the third period. The Sharks created a handful of scoring chances in the first half of Wednesday's game but heir biggest issues Wednesday came in their own end, specifically in front of their goalies. The Sharks were a mess in their own zone as they failed to pick up sticks on the first period goals from Milano and Leonard."

The Capitals scored four first-period goals in an 8:42 span, including a shorthanded goal by Brandon Duhaime that prompted Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky to replace Yaroslav Askarov with Alex Nedeljkovic. Ovechkin added a second goal early in the second period. Dylan Strome and Ryan Leonard also scored as the Capitals won 7-1 before 15,466 at SAP Center. Dmitry Orlov scored the Sharks' lone goal, while the Sharks struggled defensively in their own zone.
