    Playing with Artemi Panarin, Evgeni Malkin and more familiar faces, Ovechkin got to work quickly, striking in the first minute of action. In classic Ovechkin fashion, his goal came off a snapshot from the left circle off a feed from Panarin.

    He also had quite the celebration as he pumped up the crowd from the bench.

    Ovechkin is entering his 20th NHL season and sits 42 goals away from breaking Wayne Gretzky's all-time goals record.
