Even in defeat, Alexander Ovechkin produced the goal of the weekend, squeezing through two opposing players and falling to his stomach while whipping a wrist shot past New York goalie Henrik Lundqvist. Ovechkin and the Capitals lost 3-2 to the Rangers on Saturday, but with this second-round series tied 1-1 heading into tonight's game in Washington, Ovechkin is looking dangerous. Washington hasn't advanced past the second round of the playoffs since well before Ovechkin joined the team — a fact that's put the game's top goal scorer under constant scrutiny at this time of year. From 2007-2010, he had 82 points in 62 playoff games. [...] 36 points in 38 games. Rick Nash of the Rangers has five points in seven games — about the same ratio he's produced over his whole career — but because only one of those points was a goal, he can expect more questions about his performance if he doesn't start putting the puck in the net more often.
Ovechkin Can Still Dazzle Amid Tight-checking Postseason
