Watch Alex Ovechkin’s nasty snipe vs. Rangers, falling to ice (Video)

Alex Ovechkin was overheard saying “all series, baby … all series” to New York Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist, right after scoring a brilliant goal against him in the Washington Capitals’ Game 1 win.

In Game 2 on Saturday, Ovechkin made you believe it might not be an empty promise.

Ovechkin scored another classic at Madison Square Garden as the Capitals trailed 3-1. He tried to split defensemen Ryan McDonagh and Dan Girardi – two players credited through the years for having effectively shut him down in previous battles.

He fell to the ice, but managed to get a shot off.

Which, of course, ended up being a perfectly placed shot over the right shoulder of Lundqvist into the top corner of the net.

You know, no big deal.

It was Ovechkin’s fourth goal of the playoffs in nine games.  Here's what he did in Game 1:

“I get lucky,” Ovechkin said after Game 1. “It was kind of hard angle, but sometimes luck step on our side.”

Game 3 of the series is scheduled for Monday, as the Rangers took Game 3, 3-2.
