Alex Ovechkin may not have scored on opening night, but no worries: he’s on pace for a goal per game anyway. The Russian machine scored his second goal in the first period on Saturday, giving the Caps a 2-0 lead.

After a smart keep in the offensive zone by a pinching Karl Alzner, Nicklas Backstrom cycled to hit Alex Ovechkin, unmarked, with a backhanded pass in the slot. Haha, Chara.
Ovechkin ripped a beautiful low shot past Tuukka Rask short-side.
hahahahaha so sick))))))
