February 5, 2008 - Less than a week removed from arguably his greatest game ever (youtu.be/sj-2713s8j8?si=hGOBcktmig2ykGO7), the Caps needed Ovi to step up again. Trailing 2-0 after the first period, Ovechkin would get his team on the board for the first of two goals to erase the deficit. After more back-and-forth play that saw the Blue Jackets retake the lead before another tying goal by Washington, the game was headed to overtime. In the extra frame, Ovechkin delivered yet again to win the game, cap off a 2-goal, 3-hit, 10-shot performance, and secure the much-needed win for a team trying to stay alive in the playoff race.
