The 39-year-old striker was noted by an abandoned puck in the regular championship match against Florida Panthers. He abandoned the puck 0.1 seconds before the end of the game into the opponent’s empty gates. Capitals won with a score of 6: 3.
This puck allowed Ovechkin to reduce the lag from the performance record in the NHL, owned by Canadian Wayne Gretzka. To repeat the record, the Washington leader remains to distinguish between another 16 times.
