The Washington Capitals recent winning streak, led by captain Alex Ovechkins impressive scoring run, has them back in contending form. Ovechkin, who scored a hat trick against the Montreal Canadiens, now ties Brett Hull for fourth-most hat tricks in NHL history and passed Joe Sakic for tenth place on the all-time points list. Despite early season struggles due to a lower-body injury, Ovechkin has found his scoring touch in November, contributing significantly to the Capitals improved play. His recent goal against the Los Angeles Kings marked his four hundred and forty-second goal at Capital One Arena, surpassing Gordie Howe for the most goals scored in NHL history at a single venue.
