Watch: Ovechkin breaks mini-drought with fancy deke

Geoff Burke / USA TODAY Sports

Alex Ovechkin didn't want to be left out.

With his Washington Capitals already up 5-0 Wednesday on the Pittsburgh Penguins, Ovechkin dropped a fancy, yet deadly, deke on Marc-Andre Fleury to extend the lead.

The goal was Ovechkin's eighth of the season, a modest total for the six-time Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy winner.

It also broke a mini-drought, as Ovechkin hadn't scored in the past four games.
