Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports

What a game.

The final meeting of the regular season between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals proved to be well worth watching, with a handful of the game's 15 goals scored in spectacular fashion.

Here's a look the best five, in chronological order:

Ovi checkin'

Alex Ovechkin took out two Penguins behind the net and gave T.J. Oshie the opportunity to feed Nicklas Backstrom with a spicy backhand dish.

Williams feeling it

Justin Williams kept up his recent point-per-game pace by fending off Ian Cole's defensive attempts and firing the puck past Matt Murray.

Crosby's slap pass

Sidney Crosby appeared to be winding up for a shot, but managed to float the puck between the defender's legs and right onto Conor Sheary's stick.

Malkin's 2nd of 3

Evgeni Malkin recorded his 11th career hat trick in under 11 minutes during the second period. The second of the three was particularly impressive.

Sheary returns the favor

Sheary wanted to make sure Crosby got in on the scoring action, and set up the captain with a picture perfect cross-ice pass.
