Alex Ovechkin - W - Washington Capitals
March 11, 2013 - 12:10 PM ET
Alex Ovechkin was whistled for a pair of penalties in the second period of Sunday's loss to the Rangers that sunk the Capitals.
He was going to be called for tripping and holding on the same shift, but the Rangers scored once on the delayed penalties prior to striking again on their ensuing power play to take a 3-1 lead into the third. Ovechkin finished the game with four shots, two penalty minutes and a minus-3 rating. He has been better of late though, minus some defensive lapses, and has 20 points in 24 contests.
