Alex Ovechkin is making it look easy, like he never missed a beat.
The Capitals’ captain ripped a classic power-play goal past Minnesota’s Marc-Andre Fleury on Thursday night, tying the game 2-2 and showing why he’s still one of hockey’s most dangerous scorers at age 39.
It’s his third goal in just four games since coming back from a broken leg that kept him out for 40 long days.
Think about that – a broken fibula sidelined him for 16 games, the kind of injury that might end some careers at his age. But Ovi’s not just back – he’s dominating.
The snapshot was vintage Ovechkin, fired from his favorite spot on the ice where he’s terrorized goalies for nearly two decades.
For Caps fans who’ve been holding their breath since his injury, watching their captain light the lamp again must feel pretty sweet.
