Did Alex Ovechkin score? He sure did! Career goal 896 came just 1:10 into the first period, making Jet Greaves the 184th goalie Ovechkin has scored against in his career.

Plus: Jet Greaves might have shut out the Capitals yesterday, but he didn’t today! That’s called progress, boys and girls and babes.

Minus: The Washington Capitals have now allowed three or more goals in 11 straight contests. Of all the red flags the Caps are raising as a team gearing up for the playoffs, this one is high on the list.

Our Three Stars:
* Adam Fantilli (2G)
** Jet Greaves (29 saves)
*** Alex Ovechkin (1G)
