After recognizing a delayed penalty Alex Ovechkin quickly puts on a helmet to get on the ice as an extra attacker and then rips a one-timer off the faceoff for his 42nd goal of the year and a power play tally to get the Washington Capitals within one of the Pittsburgh Penguins late in the third period.

my condolences to caps and pens fans that had to watch this game on ESPN tonight 😥

Once in 12 billion attempts, DNA unites to produce a GOAT in something. It could be hockey, math, music or knitting, but Ovie's shot is one in 12 billion
He also has the record for most goals in an age 36 and 37 season.
Next season he'll be 38 and Brett Hull has that record with 37 goals.
Literally watching history as it happens. From a Devils fan, I hope you break the all time goals record Ovi!
Never seen him do that before…weird 🤔
Incradible.
Who did he do that?
He is the only one to have the secret
That sound was insane.
THE GOAT GET HIS PSA 10 BEE HIVE ROOKIE CARD NOW.

299 Career on PP alone 🤯

I thought he put it on directly before scoring. This video may as well be called "Ovechkin puts on his jock and unloads a howitzer"
dat slapper though..
The more time and goals passes….people start to see and believe he will make it. there can be only one!!!
Oviiiiiiii
I remember watching him in the 2000s after he was drafted. He was on another level, and played very recklessly. A lot of analysts didn't think he'd make it long past 30 because of how he played, or that he wouldn't sustain his scoring, or that he'd lose a few steps in his later years. While it's true that he has lost a step or two, he changed his game beautifully to suite his style that he is capable of playing. He truly is the greatest goal scorer. How many times have teams/goalies seen that clapper coming and just not being able to do anything about it? It's been amazing to watch him grow as a player
Ovi was like, "It's my shift? Alright, let me get my helmet on and get to work."
It’s funny because I also released a clapper only it was on Ovi’s mom
Clap on clap off

Never gets old with ovie it’s like hunting the excitement is always there
Just working from the office, nothing new here! 😂
The question is how many times did you rewind this to watch?
I can do this ☝️
How teams just leave him open again and again on the PP is crazy. Put a guy on him and play like a 3 on 4.
Pitt fans watching the greatest goal scorer ever 😂
Legend❤❤❤
How can he shoot the ice hockey ball that hard almost through the player tending the ice hockey goal? (which isn’t very big at all?) I have seen many replays where he shoots the very hard little disc so hard it seems like the hard rubber goes directly through the goalkeeper. Do other players shoot this hard with success? He has scored 299. Should score 325 or something since he will play more seasons. That is amazing. He looks like a middle aged man, but can obviously still do this better than most on the ice hockey surfuce even at a high age. Did he shoot harder when he was young?
Hear comes the boom
We didn’t win, but it was great watching Pitt sh** their pants a little
It's like Brett Hull. The teams know exactly what he's going to do and what he's going to be but yet there's nothing they can do to stop him.
Penguins fan, I’m really gonna be sad when Ovi and Crosby are retired. Some of the best games over the last 20 years have been between the Pens and Caps.
His only game.
One per game for 50 !
I will NEVER understand why any team on the PK doesn't instantly send a fwd out to just stand in front of Ovi the entire time. Just be on him 100% nonstop
Guys still scoring like mid career lol
This guy on reddit said when Ovi and powerplays are like dogs and walks. Ovi seeing delayed penalty is like dog seeing leash. something like that. thought it was funny and thought I would share. #road to gretzky
even osh surprised that he scored again from dot
I can't believe he's going to break Gretzky's record. Way to go Ovi!!!
One or two more seasons and the goal record is smashed ovi the GREAT 8!
Let’s go OVI
🇺🇦
They still lost imagine
