The Verizon Center crowd responded with applause, enjoying the sight of Ovechkin competing against a former longtime Capitals teammate in Green. For the first time since March 12, 2013, he didn’t record a shot on goal, snapping a streak of 315 games. The irony is that Ovechkin logged a whopping 15 shots on goal in a game against the Red Wings just last season. Is it more surprising that the streak ended or that Washington scored six goals and won without Ovechkin registering a single shot? San Jose’s Brent Burns is the league leader with 213 shots, but Ovechkin isn’t far behind with 210.
