Alex Ovechkin is all business as he hunts down the NHL's all-time goals record, but the Washington Capitals captain still has a sense of humor.

Kevin Fiala and Quinton Byfield score 47 seconds apart early in the third period and Kuemper makes 21 saves as the Kings hold Ovechkin to no shots on goal in a 3-0 win, their fourth straight.

Alex Ovechkin scored his 886th career goal into an empty net to seal the Washington Capitals’ 4-2 victory over the Seattle Kraken, moving nine back of breaking Wayne Gretzky’s NHL record and helping the Eastern Conference leaders win their fourth game in a row.

Four of the Caps’ final games are national TV broadcasts. But amid Ovechkin’s chase, local commentators will call the games for archival purposes.
