It was only a matter of time before Alex Ovechkin got on the board in the playoffs.
The Washington Capitals star flicked home a low wrist shot from his office in the faceoff circle Saturday night, evening up Game 2 of their first-round series against the Toronto Maple Leafs at one apiece early in the second period.
Ovechkin's first goal of this postseason came only 15 seconds into the man advantage, after Leafs defenseman Martin Marincin was whistled for slashing Capitals forward Lars Eller.
