Capitals 3 - Thrashers 2 (OT): Brought to You by the Letter...
A
A for Alex. Normally. the only Alex who jumps to mind when talking about the Caps is the Ovechkinator. However, in last night's victory over ATL, it was Semin who put the Capitals in the win column. Semin got the game winning goal off a beautiful setup by Steve Eminger and lofted a beautiful backhander over Kari Lehtonen. That goal made two on the night after Semin had scored a second period goal to tie the game at 1-1. Semin also had an assist on Ovechkin's game tying goal in the third period, the goal that ultimately sent the game into OT.
And Ovechkin was not quiet either, scoring his goal and assisting on Semin's first. Still, the goal was a 5 on 3 blast which propelled the Caps to a comeback tie and eventually a win. The goal was Ovechkin's league leading 26th on the year (tied with Marian Hossa). It also put him into the third overall position in terms of points with 56 (Sidney Crosby leads the league with 62).
Ovechkin and Semin have been the offensive 1-2 punch for Washington this year. Ovie leads the team with 26 goals, 56 points, 11 power play goals and 228 shots. Semin is right behind him in all those categories (21 goals, 40 points, 10 power play goals and 129 shots). Ovechkin is on pace for 51 goals and 109 points (he had 52 goals and 106 points last year) while Semin is on pace for 43 goals and 82 points (he had 10 goals and 22 points in 2003-2004).
The "Alex and Alex Show" came to DC last night and they brought back a win. They provided the scoring and have been shouldering most of the offensive load all year. More production from these two can only lead to good things for the Caps.
