Alex Ovechkin News: Prevents shutout Wednesday

Ovechkin scored a goal on two shots and went minus-2 in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Stars.

The 40-year-old winger is streaky at times, but the hot stretches more than make up for the cold ones. Through 44 appearances, he has 18 goals, 37 points, 117 shots on net, 77 hits and an even plus-minus rating.
