Ovechkin’s Game-Winning Secret: How the Capitals Silenced the Penguins and Rekindled Their Playoff Dreams
To mark the occasion, the two stars lined up at center ice for the opening faceoff. It was only the 175th career faceoff for Ovechkin, counting playoffs, compared to No. 32,131 for Crosby.
The game was scoreless until Trevor van Riemsdyk jammed the puck under Pittsburgh goalie Stuart Skinner’s right leg at 12:22 of the second period.
That was enough offense for Thompson, who notched his fourth shutout of the season.
