Today was a special day at Capital One Arena as the Capitals celebrated #TJ1K Day in honor of T.J. Oshie playing in 1,000 NHL contests, with Washington getting the job done for the 3-0 shutout victory over the Winnipeg Jets.
Coming off a two-goal game two nights ago, Alex Ovechkin netted two goals in the third period to increase his season total to 26 and his career total to 848.
This marked Ovechkin’s 172nd multi-goal game, trailing only Wayne Gretzky who has 189 career multi-goal games.
