Mike got another 2 assists, he’s on pace for less than half the goals he had last year, but he’s making up for it with assists by a long shot. We all know he gets hot and goes on streaks, and I can feel it coming soon.

Good news is that we are on top of the East and Ovie is back, he had a goal in his first game back. Needless to say Ovechkin provides a lot of energy and heart to the team.

Here are the video highlights:

They have a small break until they host my hometown Montreal Canadiens on Friday night, this is one game I will be able to watch live, and I’m excited to be only person with a Caps shirt in a Montreal pub!
