Alex Ovechkin didn\'t score for Washington, staying at 889 career goals and six away from breaking Wayne Gretzky\'s all-time record.
But Ovechkin did initiate a memorable moment on the ice in Minnesota on Thursday night.
The three-time NHL MVP, who has been in the spotlight for months amid his pursuit of Gretzky\'s career goal mark, hustled over toward the tunnel behind the bench after the horn sounded on Washington\'s 4-2 loss to make sure all of the Capitals came back on the ice to shake hands with retiring Wild goalie Marc-Andre Fleury. Ovechkin was the first to greet Fleury at center ice as they shared a hug and a laugh.
