They are not letting the 2019-20 season die… yet.

Alex Ovechkin goal
On the line’s very next shift, Ovechkin scored from his office on the power play. After Kuznetsov had a great carry-in to the offensive zone, John Carlson dished to The Great 8 in his office. Ovi found the far side of the net with an absolute rocket.
