It's usually the other way around, but the Washington Capitals will take plays like this any time.
Alex Ovechkin - typically the receiver of such perfect passes - showed his playmaking skills Saturday night with a great dish to T.J. Oshie, who promptly tapped in his second of three goals on the night.
Now at 29 goals, Oshie's hat-trick performance set a new career high, passing his personal best of 26 set a season ago. Additionally, the 30-year-old passed Ovechkin for the team lead in goals, a title Ovi has held every season of his career.
