Despite missing a month with a broken bone in his leg earlier this season, Capitals veteran winger Alex Ovechkin leads the Capitals in goals this season and is now just three goals away from becoming the NHL’s all-time leading scorer after posting a goal in three straight games. Ovechkin, in his 20^th season in the league, is one goal away from posting his 14^th career 40-goal season and third in the last four years. The number one overall pick in the 2004 NHL Draft, Ovechkin has 15 goals in 25 career games against the Blackhawks with five goals coming in his last five outings against Chicago.

Blackhawks center Ryan Donato leads the team with 29 goals this season having posted six goals and a pair of assists in his last five games. In his second year with Chicago, Donato is one goal away from his first ever 30 goal season and would become the 11^th Blackhawks player to ever post a 30-goal and 30-assist season.

Washington has dominated this series at home winning 10 of the last 11 meetings in D.C. having held the Blackhawks to two goals or less in eight of the last nine home games.
