Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin put on a show for a national television audience, trading goals in the middle period on a night that saw Pittsburgh fans give Ovechkin a standing ovation. Crosby and the Penguins emerged the winner in this one, finishing out a disappointing season with a 5-2 win against the playoff-bound Washington Capitals.

Alex Ovechkin discussed the possibility that Thursday's game would be his last against Sidney Crosby and the Penguins.

Both Penguins, still wearing their game jerseys in the tunnel after the game, met a fully-suited-up Ovechkin in a postgame moment to present him with the watch. “From us to congratulate you for the record,” Malkin said in Russian as the two Penguins forwards handed the box to Ovechkin.
