Game Recap

Alex Ovechkin contributed assists on goals by Tom Wilson and Aliaksei Protas, helping the Washington Capitals end the Vegas Golden Knights' three-game winning streak with a 4-2 victory on Tuesday night. Ovechkin became the 60th player in NHL history to achieve 700 assists and is now just 42 goals shy of Wayne Gretzky's all-time record. Jakub Vrana and Jakob Chychrun each scored their first goals for the Capitals, who benefited from Logan Thompson's 24 saves against his former team. Adin Hill conceded four goals on 22 shots for the Golden Knights, with Victor Olofsson and Jack Eichel scoring their goals. A pivotal moment occurred in the second period when Chychrun scored off a rush assisted by Nic Dowd, extending the Capitals' lead to 4-1. Next, the Golden Knights will face Tampa Bay on Thursday, while the Capitals will host Dallas on the same night. Read the full game analysis.
