Alex Ovechkin scored twice, passing Wayne Gretzky for the most road goals in NHL history, and the Washington Capitals beat the Canucks.
Nils Hoglander scored for the Canucks , who had won three in a row. Spencer Martin made 23 saves.
“I think he has 13 goals this year and I want to say like eight or nine have been like a new record. So it’s been cool,” Washington center Dylan Strome said. “Any time you pass Wayne Gretzky in anything, it deserves a standing ovation, which he got.” “On his second goal, it looks like, ‘Oh, maybe should have had it.’ But I’ve seen score 100 goals like that,” said Boudreau, who coached the Capitals from 2007-11. “He’s got a shot that finds its way in.”Article content
