Summary
Caps entered All Star Break in style as Alex Ovechkin passed Mario Lemieux for most goals scored as part of his hat-trick, which just happened to be part of their comeback from a 4-1 deficit. Rob & J.J. start by looking at how Ovechkin is on the doorstep of 700 goals and what it would take for him to challenge for Wayne Gretzky's all time mark of 894. They also evaluate the latest at goaltender as Braden Holtby was removed after 2 periods and replaced by Ilya Samsonov for the pivotal final period.
