The 47th President of the United States gave a nod to the Capitals and Alex Ovechkin during a pre-inauguration rally.
Alexander Ovechkin is thrilled that his Washington Capitals will face an Edmonton Oilers team without Connor McDavid.
Alex Ovechkin is knocking on the door of hockey history and the title of the greatest scorer the sport has ever seen. The Washington Capitals legend is closing in on breaking the NHL scoring record of 894 career goals currently held by “The Great One” Wayne Gretzky.
Alex Ovechkin is hoping not to let a great chance go to waste as his Washington Capitals get set to take on a Connor McDavid-less Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night.
For the only time this season, Alexander Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals traveled to Edmonton to play the Oilers. Edmonton was without Connor McDavid, as he served game one of his three-game suspension resulting from his cross-check on Vancouver Canucks forward Conor Garland.
The Capitals should be buyers at the NHL trade deadline and should make a serious offer for Elias Pettersson from the Canucks.
BOTTOM LINE: The Washington Capitals seek to continue a five-game win streak with a victory against the Seattle Kraken. Seattle has a 21-24-3 record overall and an 11-10-3 record in home games. The Kraken have a 4-9-0 record in games their opponents commit fewer penalties.
