Shake and Rattle Because Ovi’s on a Roll: Alex Ovechkin Scores 46th Goal of 2021-22, Continues Hot Streak

Posted on April 12, 2022 by Michael Fleetwood

The Washington Capitals have improved their play over their last handful of games, and captain Alex Ovechkin is, to no surprise, a major reason why. On Tuesday night against the Philadelphia Flyers, Ovechkin continued to do his part with his 46th goal of the 2021-22 season.

Ovechkin scored his 46th goal of the 2021-22 regular season at the 6:01 mark of the first period, to give the Caps a 1-0 lead, assisted by Conor Sheary and Evgeny Kuznetsov. In addition to it giving the hosts the lead, it was scored at an almost-zero angle.

The goal moves Ovechkin to within four of tying the all-time record of nine 50-goal seasons in a career and gives him 14 goals in his past 18 games played.
