We don’t love the idea of Jay Beagle on the first line, but darn it if a clutch screen by #TopLineBeagle didn’t just help Alex Ovechkin score at the Winter Classic.

What a moment.

As Mike Green fires a smart shot at a screened Corey Crawford, Ovechkin hustles to the rebound and tosses the puck short-side into the back of the net.

Ovechkin’s celebration was EPIC.

The goal, Ovechkin’s 18th, gave the Caps a 2-0 lead and set Nats Park into a frenzy. This is hockey.
