Alex Ovechkin made headlines by scoring twice, equaling an NHL record for the number of different goaltenders scored against in a career, before leaving the game due to a leg injury. His performance helped the Washington Capitals secure a decisive 6-2 win over the Utah Hockey Club.

Ovechkin's goals contributed to a strong offensive showing from the Capitals, who have now scored 24 goals in their last four games. Despite the injury, Ovechkin leads the league with 15 goals this season.
