January 19, 2006 - If Ovechkin wasn't a household name in the hockey world at the start of his rookie season, he sure was just over halfway into it. The young Caps superstar returned home on the heels of arguably his two best games of the season, his first career hat trick in Anaheim - youtu.be/cNE9AtAoI3M, and an equally legendary game in which he scored a goal so good it became known as simply "The Goal" - youtu.be/qu23oYqfxVA. Luckily for Capitals fans, the Great 8 still had some magic left for the home crowd. Ovechkin delivered another flashy goal, this time using his speed and hands to undress St. Louis' Eric Weinrich before sniping top shelf past Curtis Sanford to extend his goal-scoring streak to five games and his 15th goal in 14 games. Ovechkin added an assist and several more highlight reel plays, including one of the Capitals' two shootout goals, to help lead the Caps to their first three-game win streak since January 2003.
