Senators done in by Ovechkin
Posted on October 11, 2010
The Ottawa Senators held Alexander Ovechkin in check until there were just 31.1 seconds remaining in overtime.
Not long enough.
The dynamic winger put a wrist shot through the legs of Senators netminder Pascal Leclaire at 4:28 of overtime to give the Washington Capitals a 3-2 victory on Monday night.
Another disappointing game for owner Eugene Melnyk, who was at the Verizon Centre, to watch as his team’s record drop to 0-2-1.
Ovechkin’s goal ruined Leclaire’s night. He was one of Ottawa’s stars until then, but the replays will reveal that Ovechkin’s goal wasn’t a very good one.
