Brett Connolly already owns one of the most awkward and humorous moments of the season after leaving Evgeny Kuznetsov hanging on a fist bump.
Now Connolly joins Chandler Stephenson on the exclusive list of Capitals players wiping out during a goal celebration.
Chandler Stephenson has three points in his last two games, but just five in his 18-game NHL career. Considering that, I’m sure you will forgive him for what you will see here.
When Tom Wilson scored his second goal of the game in the third period, Stephenson enthusiastically joined the celebration. But instead of adding to the group hug, Stephenson wiped out, hard, reminding everyone of two important points:
Thirty-three seconds into Sunday’s game, Alex Ovechkin scored his 40th goal of the season and his 462nd career goal. It’s the seventh time Ovi’s done that in his ten NHL seasons.
Naturally, this was deserving of a celebration.
