One of the things that must motivate "Ovi" is to break Wayne Gretzky's all-time goal scoring record. Last night, he didn't manage to score, but he did collect three assists. He joined Guy Lafleur as the 27th all-time leading scorer in NHL history with 1,353 points.
The Habs were never in the game as Washington took a 3-0 lead in the first period. Jake Evans was able to close the gap at the end of the first period, but it wasn't enough to rekindle the flame in the Habs, who were never able to get into the game.
After the game, Dominique Ducharme didn't spare his players who gave another sad performance: "Tonight, we had a line that performed well. In the situation we are in, we are a team that needs all 20 guys in uniform to have a good night. You can't have half of them be good or okay, and the other half not have a good game. We'll never have success like that," he said after the game.
