Washington Capitals superstar forward Alex Ovechkin is expected to start in their upcoming game against the Los Angeles Kings. The news comes after Ovechkin's impressive performance in their previous game, where he scored two goals and added an assist in an 8-3 victory over the San Jose Sharks.
Ovechkin's dominance on the ice is nothing new to hockey fans, as he has consistently been one of the league's top goal-scorers throughout his career. In fact, he currently holds the record for the most goals scored by a left-winger in NHL history, with over 730 goals to his name.
Despite being in his 17th season in the league, the 36-year-old Russian has shown no signs of slowing down. He's already tallied 29 goals and 20 assists this season, proving that he is still one of the league's most dangerous offensive weapons.

His performance against the Sharks on Saturday was just another example of his incredible skill and scoring ability. He opened the scoring for the Capitals with a power-play goal in the first period, before adding another goal and an assist in the second period. His two goals in that game also put him within striking distance of yet another milestone - the 750 career goal mark.
The Capitals will face a tough challenge from the Los Angeles Kings, who are known for their physicality and strong defensive play. However, with Ovechkin back in the lineup and in top form, the Capitals will surely be confident in their ability to come away with a win.
