Alex Ovechkin added another accomplishment to his illustrious career just over two weeks since breaking Wayne Gretzky's record for the most goals in NHL history.

Alex Ovechkin scored two goals, including the winner in overtime, to lift the Washington Capitals to a 3-2 victory over the visiting Montreal Canadiens in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference quarterfinal series on Monday.

Ovechkin has won one Stanley Cup in his Hall of Fame career. Back in 2018, Ovechkin and the Capitals took down the Las Vegas Golden Knights to earn the right to be called champions. Now, Ovechkin will look to cap off the greatest year of his career with another chance at hoisting the most important trophy in hockey.
