Capitals' Alex Ovechkin: Scores first hat trick of 2016-17
Ovechkin scored three goals -- one with the man advantage -- on five shots and finished with a plus-3 rating during Wednesday's win over St. Louis.
Analysis:
The trio of tallies brings Ovechkin to 12 for the season, and he now has 16 points and 80 shots through 19 games. There seems to always be a few rough patches throughout the year with No. 8, but when all's said and done, he perennially proves he's an elite scorer and fantasy option.
