“Ovechkin on the Verge: Just 3 Goals Away from NHL Immortality!”
Ovechkin moved two away from tying Gretzky and three from passing him. The 39-year-old Russian was disappointed in his team’s loss and that he couldn’t score another one.
He had a point-blank shot stopped by Carolina goalie Frederik Andersen early in the second period with the Capitals trailing 3-0.
“We have a pretty good chance in the second, first shift a breakaway,” Ovechkin said. “And in this game, if you have a chance, you have to use it and I think all goalies play well tonight.”
Ovechkin also had a early chance to set the tone for the night, five minutes in, but had the puck poked away from behind by Carolina’s top defenseman, Jaccob Slavin.
