The Washington Capitals hosted the Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday night. The game might have started with some high spirits after a fabulous goal from Alex Ovechkin, but in the end the Caps couldn’t make it work. Red Wings win in over time.
The Capitals are still rolling without a loss in regulation this season, but there have been a few close calls. I’d consider tonight one of them.
Take a look at the highlights below.

Ovechkin strikes first
After 19:05 in the first period, Alex Ovechkin scores. It’s his 8th goal of season and his 738th in his career. He’s now 3 away from tying Brett Hull. This man is unstoppable.
