That's how you place a puck.
Washington Capitals defenseman Dmitry Orlov laid a perfect alley-oop pass to Alex Ovechkin, which the captain was able to corral before deking out Andrei Vasilevskiy for a pretty strike.
The goal gives Ovechkin 15 on the year and gave the Capitals a 3-0 lead over the Tampa Bay Lightning midway through the second period.
