Ovechkin missed the first game between the Capitals and Sharks this season on Dec. 3 at Capital One Arena while recovering from a fractured left fibula, so it will be the first time Celebrini, the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NHL Draft, will play against Ovechkin, the No. 1 pick in the 2004 NHL Draft.

Alex Ovechkin pulled one goal closer to claiming the NHL all-time record and the visiting Washington Capitals used a three-goal first period to claim a 5-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Saturday.

Ovechkin picked up his 1,600 career point and the Capitals announced that he is now the 11th player in NHL history to reach that mark. "THE 11TH PLAYER IN NHL HISTORY TO RECORD 1,600 CAREER POINTS," the Capitals wrote on social media.
