Alex Ovechkin ends third-longest goal drought of career with game-tying goal vs. Devils

"The goal was only possible after some great work along the half wall by Aliaksei Protas. The Belarusian winger found Rasmus Sandin at the top of the zone wide open. The Swedish defenseman then skated the puck down Broadway, where he found Ovechkin near the goal line. With Allen having to respect a possible Sandin shot, Ovechkin had just enough time to shoot the puck into the yawning net."

"Alex Ovechkin notched his first goal since December 3 and his first points since December 14 in the Washington Capitals' 4-3 overtime victory over the New Jersey Devils, Saturday. And all it took was some Florida sunshine and three days off. The goal tied the game 3-3 with 10:43 remaining in the third period, eventually forcing overtime. There, Jakob Chychrun batted his own rebound out of mid-air to give the Capitals the 4-3 victory, snapping their three-game losing streak."

Alex Ovechkin scored the 912th goal of his career in the Capitals' 4-3 overtime victory over the New Jersey Devils, ending a nine-game goalless streak. Aliaksei Protas worked along the half wall to find Rasmus Sandin, who skated down Broadway and fed Ovechkin near the goal line; Ovechkin beat Jake Allen from just outside the crease to tie the game with 10:43 remaining in the third. Jakob Chychrun scored the overtime winner by batting his own rebound out of mid-air. During the drought Ovechkin was split from centerman Dylan Strome and posted 57 shot attempts, 25 shots on goal, 13 blocked shots, 24 individual scoring chances, nine high-danger chances and two assists.
