Alex Ovechkin Becomes NHL’s Sixth Player with 700 Assists & Goals

Alexander Ovechkin is famous for scoring goals, but his passing skills shone brightly on Tuesday night.

During the game against the Las Vegas Golden Knights, he helped Washington Capitals win 4-2 by setting up two goals. One of his passes to Alexei Protas was especially important, as it gave Washington a 3-1 lead. This was part of an exciting moment in the second period when the Capitals scored three times in just over three minutes!

Ovechkin’s Passing Magic:

Fans might think it’s cool to see Ovechkin showing off his passing skills instead of just scoring goals. His assist to Protas was a big deal because it came during one of their fastest scoring bursts since November 2023.

In sports, sometimes unexpected things happen that make games more thrilling. Imagine watching your favorite player do something surprising like this! What do you think about players who can both score and assist?
