November 15. Washington D.C. Capital One Arena.

"Pittsburgh can't get used to life without Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. Sid played only his second game of the season today, and the Russian will be back in action in December at best because of a knee injury. Without them, the Penguins are an average team, which at most can contend for a playoff spot. But even the return of their captain didn't help Pittsburgh tonight.

Washington's first penalty resulted in a goal. Except that the puck flew into the goal of the opponent! Tom Wilson, along with guard Fehervari, ran into one opponent, and the Slovakian accurately shot with the hands.

Garnet Hathaway has been a regular power forward on the lower ranks his entire career. Last game against Columbus, he scored his first two goals of the season. But if Ovechkin gives him assists like he did tonight in every game, Garnett could match his sniper record. Alexander swung, showing the shot, and sharply passed the puck to Hathaway, who had only to miss the tricked-out goaltender.

In the second period, the Pittsburgh players finally got confused. First they lost Sprong, who had an unobstructed pass from his teammate, and then Sheary - no one interfered with his shot near the goal.

Was the opponent's shorthanded defense the best chance for Ovechkin to score a couple of goals and get closer to Gretzky? No, today the Washington captain focused on playing catch, shooting on goal only once. In the third period, Alexander found himself in a struggle near the board and lightly threw the puck to Kuznetsov. An accurate shot and the famous birdie by No. 92!

Tom Wilson, who was fouled by Kuznetsov, put the final touches on this home team effort.

"Washington extended their winning streak to four games, but Pittsburgh is the worst in the Capital One division in terms of percentage of points scored. It's unlikely the team will lose their playoff chances before Malkin's return.
