Mike had now points in almost 27 minutes of ice time, he did manage 3 shots on net and was an even in the plus/minus department.

The Cap won again, their 3rd in a row since returning from the Olympic break, it’s hard not to notice that Ovechkin has been a little bit off, I would say yesterdays game showed some sparks of the real him. You have to wonder if it’s because of injury, or he may be tired and/or depressed from the Olympics. I assume it won’t take him much longer to come out of that slump with a bang now that Crosby has taken the goal scoring lead by 2 goals.

Here are the video highlights:

The New York Rangers are visiting the nation’s capital tonight, game time is 7pm eastern time.

This is the last of 4 meetings this season between the two teams, funny enough in the previous three the visiting team has always won, lets hope that trend stops tonight.

The games have always been exciting, although Mike missed the last one, he will be there tonight and expect him to be mixing up with the likes of Callahan and Avery as usual.
