Check out Ovi’s rocket that beat Holtby stick side off the crossbar and in from the right circle.
Instead of hugging his teammates, Ovechkin put his hand up for socially distant high fives. He then emphatically pointed at the net like an official to signify it was a good goal.
Not only was it a good goal, Ovi, it was a good celebration, too. Keep up those precautions, buddy.
