Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin put on a show in the regular-season finale on Thursday night, showcasing their greatness in the Pittsburgh Penguins' 5-2 win over the Washington Capitals. Ovechkin finished his record-breaking season by netting his 897th career goal in the second period.

In a season of ups, downs, and playoff disappointments, the Pittsburgh Penguins’ opponent for their final game of the 2024-25 season on Thursday is quite fitting.

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.
