Alex Ovechkin picked up where he left off on Thursday night.

After tallying a third-period hat trick against the Ottawa Senators, the Washington Capitals captain was back at it on Saturday, slamming a spin-around slapshot over the glove hand of Carey Price just 20 seconds into the game.

He wasn't done there.

After T.J. Oshie doubled the score, Ovechkin picked up his second of the game to give the Capitals a 3-0 lead over the Montreal Canadiens before the game was three minutes old.
