Ovechkin Finally Wins the Stanley Cup for Washington Capitals 🏆 | On This Day in Sports (June 7)

On this day in 2018, Alexander Ovechkin finally won his first Stanley Cup. After years of dominating the NHL — with multiple MVPs, scoring titles, and a 65-goal season — the one thing missing from Ovi’s legendary résumé was a championship.

That changed on June 7th, 2018, when the Washington Capitals defeated the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 5 to win their first and only Stanley Cup in franchise history. Ovi was named playoff MVP and lifted the Cup in one of the most emotional moments in modern hockey history.
