Alexander Ovechkin put the 60 Goal mark closer today after scoring the empty net goal in todays Washington Capitals 4-2 defeat over the Nashville Predators.
Ovechkin scored his 58th goal of the season while trying to clear the puck in the closing seconds of the game.
Ovechkin scored an empty-netter at 19:56 of the third with a bank shot off of the boards from inside his own blue line that barely made it over the Nashville goal line.
“I was just trying to get the puck into the neutral zone, so it was the luckiest score ever,” Ovechkin said.

Regardless of whether it was shot in on purpose or simply pure luck, Alexander Ovechkin looks like he will pass the 60 Goal mark in the next few games.
Doing so will make him the first person to do so in 12 years, no small feat and evidence that he truly is the best Scorer in the modern game.

Pavel Datsyuk and the red hot Detroit Red Wings clinched the first playoff spot today by defeating Marty Turco and the Dallas Stars at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit. The win gives the Red Wings 100 points on the season, and gives them the win in their Division, and a guaranteed playoff spot.
The Dallas Stars looked good early on, pushing the lead out to 3-1 at one stage with goals from Jere Lehtinen and Brenden Morrow. Datsyuk scored with just under 4 minutes left in the 2nd period taking the Red Wings to the 2nd intermission only 1 goal down and boosted with confidence.
Datsyuk took just 34 seconds into the third period to score again bringing the score to 3-3. Mikael Samuelsson deflated the Stars hopes just 25 seconds later when he also found the back of the net. The Stars never recovered, and in the closing minutes Valtteri Filppula scored an empty netter to seal the victory.
“The first goal was a bad goal and the second, we didn’t check very well,” Stars coach Dave Tippett said. “Once you give up two quick goals to start a period, it’s hard to get the momentum back.”

The challenge for the Detroit Red Wings now will be to maintain momentum through the final10 or so games of the season.
