Ovechkin cashed in a Matt Roy cross-crease feed to make it 2-0 in the first, reaching the 30-goal plateau for a record 20th time — a mark he has reached in every NHL season except the COVID-shortened 2020–21 campaign. The goal was his 30th in 75 games this season (he'd finish the night with 31), and it made him just the fourth player in NHL history to score 30 goals at age 40 or older.
