With the Capitals up 1-0 early in the second period at the Pittsburgh Penguins, Washington was on the power play and Alex Ovechkin (fed from Dylan Strome and John Carlson) scored his 18th goal of the 2023-24 NHL season and 840th goal of his incredible career. The Caps would go on to complete an absolute shellacking of the hated Penguins 6-0.
