The Canucks are coming off back-to-back comeback wins against the Dallas Stars and Chicago Blackhawks, bringing their record up to 3–2–0 on the season. Washington, on the other hand, is coming off a 5–1 win that elevates them to a 4–1–0 record.

A living NHL legend, the Capitals captain is closing in on another historic milestone. In addition to raising his NHL record with each future goal, Ovechkin will become the first player in league history to record 900 career goals when he scores twice more. He’ll get his first crack at that 900 mark when the Caps take on the Vancouver Canucks.
