Following an initial goal by Leon Draisaitl for the Oilers, the Capitals rallied with scoring bursts, including back-to-back goals by Ovechkin. Despite mistakes and a late goal from the Oilers, the Capitals ultimately dominated, scoring 14 goals over the weekend and showcasing key performances from players like Ethen Frank. Fans were thrilled by Ovechkin's milestone achievement and the team's powerful offense, solidifying their comeback in the league.
The Washington Capitals scored 14 goals in a 24-hour period from 3:21 PM Saturday to 3:21 PM Sunday. Fifteen on the weekend.
Alex Ovechkin scored goals numbered 880 and 881 back-to-back, before finishing with a long-distance empty-netter for his 882nd goal.
The first period was superb. The Oilers controlled a couple shifts and then the Caps took over. The period was whistle-free.
Ethen Frank, who stole a puck from Connor McDavid and later chased down a breakaway at warp speed, was a standout in the game.
