The Washington Capitals and Winnipeg Jets did battle on Christmas Eve Eve and we all got to watch more hockey history be made. What an absolute joy to witness.
Alex Ovechkin opened the scoring with his 801st career marker to tie Gordie Howe for second all-time on the NHL goal-scoring list. Sonny Milano stayed hot and potted his fifth of the season to double the lead.
Nic Dowd put the Caps up three in the third before Kevin Stenlund got the Jets on the board. Alex Ovechkin empty netter to jump all the way over Mr. Hockey.

This is your place to check for updates and comment along with the Washington Capitals vs. Winnipeg Jets game on December 23, 2022.
Friends, it’s cold and windy as heck. The electricity has been out most of the day at my house. I’m frigid and my son is beginning to lose it. Temperatures are in the single digits.
Basically, it’s been A Day which is a great setup for tonight’s Capitals game. It’s the last three periods of hockey you’ll get before Washington’s three-day-long holiday break. So let’s end on a good note. This region needs it.
The Capitals are coming off a 3-2 overtime win against the Ottawa Senators where Marcus Johansson played the hero. The win gave the Capitals victories in eight of their last nine games. Since November 24, they’ve earned at least one point in 12 of their last 15 games (11-3-1).
Caps-Jets will mark Alex Ovechkin’s fifth opportunity to try and tie or pass Gordie Howe for second on the NHL’s all-time goals list.
Charlie Lindgren will get the start in net after Darcy Kuemper got the win against Ottawa.
Tonight’s game is on NBC Sports Washington and puck drop is a little after 7 pm.
