Alex Ovechkin had two goals in the third period, including the go-ahead score with 2:51 remaining, and the Washington Capitals topped the Detroit Red Wings 3-1.

Zach Fucale became the first goaltender in Capitals history to post a shutout in his NHL debut, stopping 21 shots as Washington beat the Detroit Red Wings 2-0.

The Detroit Red Wings continued reshaping their defense for 2020-21, electing not to make a qualifying offer to Madison Bowey. The Red Wings acquired Bowey, 25, and a second-round pick in this year’s draft from the Washington Capitals at the 2019 trade deadline for defenseman Nick Jensen and a fifth-round pick in 2019. He also acquired defenseman Marc Staal and a second-round pick from the New York Rangers for future considerations. Perlini, acquired in an early season trade from Chicago for defense prospect Alec Regula, struggled all season and was a frequent healthy scratch. More: Red Wings to buy out Justin Abdelkader

The Rangers defeated the Capitals 6-5 in overtime; Zibanejad scored five goals. And, the last put him in the New York Rangers' record books and delivered them a big-time victory. Zibanejad is the first Rangers center with at least 35 goals in a season since Hall of Famer Eric Lindros in 2001-02. Zibanejad joined Don Murdoch (Oct. 12, 1976) and Mark Pavelich (Feb. 23, 1983) as Rangers with five goals in a game. That came after Zibanejad scored on a rebound with 1:42 remaining to give New York a brief 5-4 lead.
