WASHINGTON — Alex Ovechkin had a chance to pull off a double milestone by reaching 900 goals in his 1,500th game.
The Ottawa Senators were having none of it.
The Capitals and their fans had a chance to celebrate the latter accomplishment, but goal No. 900 will have to wait. Washington was drubbed 7-1 by the Senators on Saturday night.
Ovechkin came close early in the game when he flipped a backhand off the side of the net.
“He had me in the first period. I’m just lucky that he missed the net,” Senators goalie Linus Ullmark said. “He fooled me. I was up in the stands looking for a hot dog or something like that after that one. I was lucky on that one.”
