Auston Matthews a witness to history with Alex Ovechkin via sunhornby
Ovechkin needs one goal to tie the late Gordie Howe for second place in NHL history, two to clear the field of everyone other than Wayne Gretzky, who reached 894.
“I don’t think anybody could believe what had happened,” Matthews said. “Their eyes were glued to the Jumbotron; players, fans, everybody. “It was always quite a spectacle when guys like him would come to town, the stands were always full.” The Leafs will have a motivated netminder to face Ovechkin, one of the few in the league never to allow him a goal. Former Capital Ilya Samsonov returns to Capital One Arena for the first time, a friend of countryman Ovechkin, but more closely tied to Evgeny Kuznetsov and other Russians on the team.
