It took 10 years, but New Jersey Devils rookie winger Miles Wood finally got Alex Ovechkin's autograph.
While speaking with Devils All-Access on Thursday, Woods' father, Randy, told a story about his son sending a hockey card and an autograph request to Ovechkin as a kid.
Woods warned Ovechkin, "If you don't sign this and send it back to me, when I make it to the NHL, I'm going to give you a big body check."
Ovechkin never returned the card, but with his Washington Capitals hosting the Devils on Thursday night, he made good on the request.
