Alex Ovechkin News: Lights lamp twice Monday

Ovechkin scored two goals on four shots on net with four hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 7-4 win over the Ducks.

The NHL's all-time leader in goals potted what proved to be the game-winner in the second period before wrapping up the scoring with an empty-netter in the third. It was Ovechkin's first multi-goal performance since Dec. 3, and he lit the lamp only once during the 14 games in between, as the 40-year-old finally begins to show his age. On the season, the future Hall of Famer has 17 goals and 36 points in 43 contests.
