- Carey Price breaks down his pad-stacking save on Ovechkin's one-timer from the left circle with under 10 seconds left in a tied game against Washington.
- Price's conservative initial depth produced a shorter cross-ice push, meaning the save required desperation and some luck in where the puck struck his sprawling body.
- Ovechkin's one-timer carries a ball-hockey-like 'draw' — breaking down and away from the blocker or curving backdoor glove-side — which both Capitals goaltending coach Scott Murray and Ryan Miller compare to facing a breaking ball in baseball.
