Capitals' Alex Ovechkin: Cashes in with power-play blast in Game 5

Ovechkin opened the scoring with a power-play goal and added an assist in Saturday's Game 5 win over the Penguins.

Analysis:

A clutch performance from the captain, who helped the Caps stave off elimination to force a Game 6. Ovechkin, who fired six shots on goal Saturday, has been credited with 20 shots on goal over his last three outings and is up to five goals in 11 postseason games. Washington will need another big game from him Tuesday if they hope to force a Game 7.
