WASHINGTON -- Alex Ovechkin scored his 908th NHL goal in the Washington Capitals’ 4-3 win against the Winnipeg Jets on Wednesday.
Morgan Geekie scored his second goal of the game at 2:27 of overtime to tie for the NHL goals lead and give the Boston Bruins a 2-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Friday night.
Geekie found the back of the net in the second and third periods, and he remains one of the most consistent forwards in the NHL from a goalscoring perspective. The 27-year-old has eight goals over his last six games and ranks among the league leaders with 20 goals already -- he's tied with Nathan MacKinnon for the league lead.

But having allowed 26 goals over the last six games, the Wings are now allowing 3.38 per game, which ranks 25th in the NHL.
