Video
Halfway into Saturday’s roader in Detroit, John Carlson served Ovechkin the puck for a rush shot, but Ovi couldn’t get a lane. Instead, he skated below the goal line. Carlson set a pick for him there. With the screen, Ovechkin gave a quick release that Detroit goalie Jonathan Bernier didn’t see coming.
