Capitals 6, Utah 2

Capitals forward Alex Ovechkin tied one NHL record in his pursuit of another before leaving during the third period of Washington’s win over Utah with an apparent left leg injury.

Ovechkin went to the Capitals’ bench with an apparent lower leg injury 5:30 into the third after colliding with Utah forward Jack McBain and crumpling to the ice.
