WASHINGTON, DC - MARCH 21: Washington Capitals left wing Alex Ovechkin (8) shoots and scores during third period action against the Calgary Flames at the Verizon Center in Washington, DC on March 21, 2017. That’s just who he is.”Ovechkin’s late power-play goal was the insurance in Washington’s 4-2 win over the Calgary Flames on Tuesday night. His play had helped the Capitals surge past the Flames much earlier, setting up T.J. Oshie’s goal and then drawing the penalty that led to Kevin Shattenkirk’s first goal with the Capitals. He is the Capitals’ first 30 goal scorer other than Ovechkin since the 2009-10 season. I like that fact.”Less than four minutes later, Ovechkin drove the net and was tripped by Flames defenseman Dougie Hamilton.
