Alex Ovechkin's mini-drought is over. Ovechkin scored his first goal of the season Friday night, moving to within two of 900 for his career and helping the Washington Capitals to a 5-1 victory over the Minnesota Wild. Ovechkin went without a goal in the season's first four games — not a crisis but a longer dry spell than he had at any time last season, when he scored 44 times and broke Wayne Gretzky's NHL record with No. 895.
