It’s a new career-high! Parker Kelly deflects a point shot from Cale Makar and it goes by Charlie Lindgren. That’s Kelly’s ninth goal of the season and from a scoring perspective, this is officially his best year yet as a pro.

Scott Wedgewood was called for tripping after Anthony Beauvillier knocked his stick out of his hands and tripped over the stick a couple of strides after. Washington capitalized on the “penalty” when defenseman Jakob Chychrun ties it up on the power play with a wicked wrister that sizzled its way through traffic and by Scott Wedgewood to tie the game at one.
It was Chychrun’s 18th goal of the season, which is tied for the best in the NHL amongst defensemen.
We have 4:18 left in the opening frame and the Avalanche are going on the PK after Josh Manson was whistled for high-sticking. Colorado kills the penalty. An Ovechkin one-timer in person is always special. The sound is just different coming from the all-time leading goal scorer.
