Ovechkin Buries First Playoff OT Dagger vs. Habs
Alex Ovechkin, fresh off shattering Gretzky's all-time goals record, wastes no time rewriting his playoff legacy with a monster night against Montreal. The Capitals captain opens the scoring on the power play, sets up a teammate in the second, then cleans up in overtime after the pesky Canadiens claw back from two goals down. Washington leaned hard on their physical edge - 42 hits, Ovi leading with seven - to bully the smaller Habs, but Montreal's third-period push tested their top-seed mettle.
