Alex Ovechkin Becomes 2nd NHL Player with 1,000 Career Goals
Brock Nelson scored 82 seconds into overtime on a Martin Necas assist to secure Colorado's victory, marking Ovechkin's 1,000th NHL goal combined in regular season and playoffs.
- On Sunday, the Colorado Avalanche beat the Washington Capitals 3-2 in overtime at Capital One Arena, with Brock Nelson scoring 82 seconds into 3-on-3 OT on a Martin Necas feed.
- In the third period, Colorado struck early with two quick shots converting into goals, as Martin Necas intercepted a pass and fed Gabe Landeskog at 1:05 and Nicolas Roy scored after forcing a turnover at 6:03.
- On the power play with 5:43 left in regulation, Alex Ovechkin tied the game with a one-timer, marking his 1,000th combined NHL goal and his 26th of the season.
- The Colorado Avalanche extended their winning streak and carried momentum from clinching a playoff berth on Friday, and they continue their four-game road trip at the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday.
- An unseasonably warm day and arena construction may have contributed to ice issues, while Wayne Gretzky's NHL total stands at 1,016 goals, including 894 regular-season and 122 playoff goals.
