4 years agoWashington Capitals left wing Alex Ovechkin made his return to the lineup and scored the game-winning goal in overtime after missing the past four games due to a violation of the NHL's COVID-19 protocols. Ovechkin's game-winner marked his second goal of the season in Saturday's 4-3 victory against the Bruins. The Capitals received additional offense in the form of goals scored by forwards Nicklas Backstrom, Richard Panik and defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk in the contest, while goaltender Vitek Vanecek made 40 saves to improve to 5-0-2 on the season, along with a 2.78 goals against average and .918 save percentage. Ovechkin has totaled seven points (two goals, five assists) through five games, making the veteran winger a must-start player across all fantasy formats.--Denis Vondrus - RotoBaller
