For the second time this season Russian NHL star, Alexandr Ovechkin, has managed to score four goals in one game. The Washington Capitals beat Montreal Canadians 5-4 at home ice.

Alexandr the Gr8 scored in every period of the game and then put the puck in the net during the 4th minute of overtime, to hand his team the controversial victory.

It wasn't easy for him. After the game his nose was broken and his lip shattered.    

Ovechkin is now NHL's leading scorer with 70 points in the bag.   

Another Washington goal was scored by Ovechkin's compatriot Viktor Kozlov.
