Hockey fans will never tire of the sight of two classic rivals battling it out on the ice. Particularly, a pair that’s been doing it for the last 20 years.
Alexander Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby met for the 98th time on Thursday, the final game of the regular season for both the Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins.
It was only appropriate that each player, both seemingly destined for the Hockey Hall of Fame, would score.
Crosby buried a second period shot from a tough angle against goaltender Clay Stevenson, who was making his NHL debut for Washington, to extend the Penguins’ lead to 3-1.
