Ovechkin has zero points through the first three games of the Capitals' second-round series with the Hurricanes.

Nastasiya Ovechkin shared a video on Instagram. She showed a custom gift from Nike for her husband, Alex Ovechkin. The gift was to celebrate his 895th NHL goal.

The Washington Capitals need Alex Ovechkin to get going in order to help take the series lead over the Carolina Hurricanes.
