Washington Capitals defenseman Jakob Chychrun lauded Alex Ovechkin for achieving a significant milestone. The Capitals forward has broken the NHL record for most goalies scored on.

Chychrun joined Grant Paulsen and Danny Rouhier on The Grant and Danny Show on 106.7 The Fan on Wednesday and took the time to express how much he's enjoyed his tenure in the District so far.

Chychrun scored a goal on five shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Penguins.

Jakob Chychrun, Aliaksei Protas and Pierre-Luc Dubois scored, Logan Thompson made 18 saves and the NHL-leading Washington Capitals beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-1 for their fourth consecutive victory

Sportsnet: Stephen Whyno on the Washington Capitals may want to extend defenseman Jakob Chychrun before getting to pending UFA goaltenders Logan Thompson or Charlie Lindgren.

For the Washington Capitals, this season was expected to be about Alex Ovechkin's chase to surpass Wayne Gretzky for the NHL's career goal-scoring record.

ARLINGTON, Va. – Capitals goaltender Logan Thompson has been named the NHL’s First Star for the week ending Jan. 19, the NHL announced today.

Dubois (28 points) and Chychrun (25 points) lead the Capitals in scoring over the last 32 games, and Thompson has boasted a .984 save percentage with two shutouts over the last three starts that made him the NHL's First Star of the Week.

The win Saturday was another example of how far the Capitals have come. Although Alex Ovechkin was held without a goal -- leaving him with 874 and 21 away from breaking Wayne Gretzky’s NHL record of 894 -- Washington demonstrated its improved depth and controlled play almost from start to finish.

Two of the National Hockey League’s top teams will tangle at Rogers Center in Edmonton, Alberta, on Tuesday night. The Washington Capitols, which top all NHL teams with 67 points, will open a five-game road trip against the Oilers (29-14-3, in the Pacific Division), one of six teams with at least 60 points.

The 26-year-old, who was traded to the nation's capital from the Ottawa Senators during the offseason, scored his 13th goal of the season on a rocket of a shot from the blue line to beat Pittsburgh Penguins goalie Joel Blomqvist.
