With Logan Thompson joining the Capitals from the Golden Knights this offseason, here are the 2 goals Alex Ovechkin has scored in 4 games against his new teammate. Both came during a 4-3 overtime loss for Washington in Las Vegas on April 20, 2022. They were the 49th and 50th goals of Ovechkin’s 2021-22 season. It was the ninth time the Russian Machine reached the 50-goal plateau, tying Wayne Gretzky and Mike Bossy for most such seasons in NHL history. At 36 years old, he also became the oldest player ever to record a 50-goal season, outdoing Johnny Bucyk’s age of 35 in 1970-71.
