Even without TJ Oshie, the Caps’ new-fangled first line authored the first goal of the game again Monday night.
After Alex Ovechkin unleashed a low, hard wrist shot to the far side of the net, Nicklas Backstrom deposited the rebound into the net for his tenth goal of the season.

And here are the GIFs.
Carey Price is a human vacuum, yet he could not stop this heavy Ovi shot.
For those counting at home, the primary assist gave the Russian machine his 997th career point (543 goals, 454 assists). Now please go update your Ovechkin point counter bobbleheads to 0 9 9 7.
Only 3 more to go! #Ovech1Kin pic.twitter.com/880jZMRuD5
