00:00For a dozen years he's been in this league. His first point was his first goal against the Columbus Blue Jackets October of 2005. He's got 999 points. And on the same sheet of ice to start this and taking the opening phase off will be the captain of the Penguins, Sidney Crosby. On pace to surpass his previous high and to break through the 50 goal plateau this year.
00:30By the netminder Holtby. Right back for Daly again. But that intercepted by Oshie. Played back ahead of Backstrom. Ahead now to Ovechkin. Cruising on in. Tobrague! Score! 1,000 points!
00:43A big collision below the goal line by T.J. Oshie and Trevor Daly. Alexander Ovechkin is outside the dots. He works himself inside the dots to give himself a better lane. Pull it in. Shoot it back the other way. And 35 seconds in.
01:021,000 points for Alexander Ovechkin. He got 999 the other night in Montreal tying the great. Rock and Richard with 544 goals. It's jumping down here. They are rocking the red. That was a spectacular way to score. 1,000 points. Way to go, Alex.
01:202 minutes and 20 eventful seconds thus far in the first period. Scott Wilson trying to play it ahead. It's gotten back along and here's Fair. Oh! And a save is made by the lightning light glove of Holtby on Eric Fair.
01:40Daly yet again holding. Threw one in front. Ricocheted right in on goal save. Rebound off the post! Just that close!
01:50Four against four, doesn't it? Carried on now for Johansson to just hold and then give over for Carlson and what a put!
01:58That is eaten up by the net minder, Marc-Andre Fleury.
02:01Pulls it on back and letting it go is Carlson and that blocked down by Fleury.
02:08Giving back to Carlson though and across to Backstrom and over to Ovechkin.
02:11Holds and shoots and the save is made by Fleury.
02:15Wilson trying to steer with it. Knopf.
02:17Balken battles with him and kicked back over to Hagelin.
02:20Then on to Hornquist and a save made by Holtby.
02:23They'd like to, but they have other options.
02:26It is back from there. Drops it back to Carlson and Ovechkin. The shot! He scores!
02:36You talk about drifting the puck.
02:39This thing is absolutely hammered.
02:43Fleury moving left to right. Ovechkin with the big slapper.
02:48As Fleury goes down, right under the bar.
02:51One hands it ahead and it can be collared and dealt back across by Eller.
02:56Wiping out but playing it ahead now.
02:58It goes on for a shot that went off Holtby and is fished out of the air.
03:02And the net medal.
03:04A chance by Kessel that looked like it would become a goal, but did not.
03:09Dumped on ahead for the carry back in by Wilson.
03:11Wilson to drive and it went off the pipe.
03:16To the back it comes.
03:17Mata shot and that one grabbed through traffic by Braden Holtby.
03:21And carried ahead by Ovechkin.
03:25Ovechkin drags and then hands on to Backstrom.
03:28Backstrom curling back to Carlson.
03:30The shot is snatched out of the air by an alert Marc-Andre Fleury.
03:34Orlov dropped it back further for the carry along by Kuznetsov.
03:38Kuznetsov worming his way by Wilson.
03:40Circles and Fedwin across.
03:42Score!
03:43Score!
03:43Score!
03:43It's Williams to make it 3-0.
03:48This is all of getting Kuznetsov.
03:51Great play here from Dmitry Orlov.
03:52Jump into the play and look at Kuznetsov.
03:54Thought he had a chance to shoot the puck right in this area here.
03:57But he holds on to it, holds on to it, spins it back.
04:01And somehow this puck beats Marc-Andre Fleury between the legs.
04:04This is his patented move.
04:05We've seen this so often since he's come into the National Hockey League.
04:09Gain the net and then whip it off the short side as he does right here.
04:13And you order that traffic area.
04:15And Justin Williams capitalizes.
04:17Kessel trickled it across.
04:18It'll be read by Malkin and Fed on back.
04:20Malkin gets it then.
04:21Side of the net.
04:22It's Fed in front.
04:23Save.
04:23Rebound.
04:24Oh!
04:24And it would not go for Kessel.
04:26Watch the left part of your screen.
04:29Here comes Kessel.
04:31And he toes it.
04:32Doesn't get a lot on it.
04:33That allows Holtby to slide over.
04:3550 seconds to go power play.
04:37Nice keep by Schultz.
04:38Got it on across.
04:39Kessel.
04:41Back to Schultz once more.
04:42Then over to Malkin.
04:43Score!
04:45Evgeny Malkin.
04:46A power play goal.
04:473-1.
04:48Kessel to Schultz.
04:51And no hesitation at all by Evgeny Malkin.
04:55But at any rate, here comes Rust.
04:57And he landed ahead to Cullen.
04:59Oh!
05:00And getting a piece of that was Holtby.
05:02He's looking all around.
05:04It's gone out of play.
05:05A minute 25 to go on the Alexi Miner.
05:11Carried back along by Oshie.
05:12On to Baxter.
05:13He scores!
05:16Base off win.
05:17Stretch pass.
05:18Look at TJ Oshie.
05:19He's directing traffic with his stick.
05:21He wants it.
05:21He takes it.
05:23And then off the rush, Nick Baxter with the honky sense of awareness.
05:27People caught flat footed.
05:29Potentially they think Oshie's going to shoot it.
05:31He's not.
05:31He's going to ditch it.
05:33And Nick Baxter, usually the ditcher, he finishes it off.
05:36Then Crosby.
05:37Then it crossed to Kessel.
05:38Kessel for Crosby.
05:39Side of the net.
05:40Score!
05:41It is Patrick Hornquist.
05:45And it is 4 to 2.
05:47Talk about changing sides and to move the puck back the other way.
05:52Look at Balls are getting tied up with Viggenny Malkin in front of the net.
05:56And all Hornquist has to do is direct that puck into the wide open net.
06:01Crosby gave it back over.
06:02Malkin's pass intercepted.
06:04Steered out to Backstrom.
06:05Net empty.
06:06Given a cross down to Eller.
06:07His shot is directed by Neyden.
06:11Off of LeTang's helmet, it pops into the net on that kind of night.
06:24In the last 4 games, Braden Holtby has given up 2 goals.
06:33The Capitals as a team have now won 7 in a row.
06:3714 of their last 18.
06:40They are 1 point behind Columbus, which at 1 point had won 15 in a row.
06:48The Metropolitan is impressive.
06:51The Capitals as a team has drawn 7 in the office, which is the latest Capitals it very well.
07:03Home and trΓͺn the Entity of the life.
07:04Morning.
07:05I've just mentioned the Capitals.
07:05Back to it from the prize time, back pratique its two charges but it's my first pick.
07:13It's also disrespectful to Providence 0arz lat Π²ΠΊΠ»ΡΡ.
