October 25, 2025
Alex Ovechkin had a chance to pull off a double milestone by reaching 900 goals in his 1,500th game. The Ottawa Senators were having none of it. The Capitals and their fans had a chance to celebrate the latter accomplishment, but goal No. 900 will have to wait. Washington was drubbed 7-1 by the Senators on Saturday night. A goal against Columbus on Friday night brought Ovechkin to 899, but he had only one shot Saturday. As a team, the Capitals were outshot 34-13.
