Gosh, it’s like Pittsburgh hasn’t even heard of the Ovi Spot. Ovechkin’s all alone, daydreaming of how cool it would’ve been if Joe Beninati were calling the game.

Suddenly, John Carlson sends a rare, excellent pass. You know the rest.

At 21, Alex Ovechkin’s 2016-17 goals are now allowed to buy and consume alcohol. This is Ovechkin’s 7th career multi-goal game against the Penguins.

So, yeah, it’s kind of been a night.

Tonight marks #Caps Alex Ovechkin's third multi-goal game of the season and his 111th career multi-goal game.
