Alex Ovechkin reached 922 career goals, second all-time in NHL regular-season scoring, as rookie Cole Hutson scored in his debut during a 4-1 Capitals win.
- On Wednesday night, Alex Ovechkin scored his 922nd regular-season goal and Cole Hutson, 19-year-old defenseman, scored his first in his NHL debut as the Capitals beat Ottawa 4-1.
- The milestone pushed Ovechkin past Gordie Howe, with his 450th home goal, into second behind Wayne Gretzky, and he is one goal shy of 1,000 career tallies including postseason goals.
- Meanwhile, Rasmus Sandin's pass deflected off Ovechkin's right skate and beat goalie Linus Ullmark, while Tom Wilson scored his 25th later in the period.
- The result leaves the Capitals six points out of a playoff spot with time running out, while the Ottawa Senators fell five points out after the regulation loss.
- Looking beyond the scoreline, Ovechkin has led the Capitals in goals in all 20 seasons, while Hutson made his NHL debut less than a week after his Boston University season ended.
