Ovechkin reached the mark after two great plays. His first assist of the night came after sending a centering pass on the power play to Tom Wilson for a redirect. Darcy Kuemper made the initial stop, but Ryan Leonard retrieved the rebound and brilliantly sent the puck back to Wilson, who tipped the puck home. The goal gave the Capitals a 1-0 lead at 14:50 of the first period.
