Gr8 hits n8 /RzAFG35zic- NBC Sports Capitals February 17, 2020 #2 – Ovechkin Sends Schmidt into Knights Bench – February 17, 2020 The hit ultimately did not have the desired effect, however, as Montreal scored four times in the second period and took the win.
Ovechkin’s however, had not and he came in like a freight train and leveled the Canadiens forward. As Drouin had turned his body for the drop pass, most of his momentum had ceased. Jonathan Drouin certainly won’t forget that after this hit.Ĭoming in on the back-check, Ovechkin glided into the defensive zone, turned and collided with Drouin just as he dropped the puck off behind him. With more than 700 goals, it can be easy to forget just how big and physical a player Alex Ovechkin can be. 9eMP5QD0K3- NBC Sports Capitals November 16, 2019 #3 – Ovechkin Lowers the Boom on Drouin – November 15, 2019 A great hit, and some on our staff would argue not even Wilson’s best from this game (see this hit on Jakob Lilja). Wilson delivered the big shoulder-to-shoulder hit and as Locker so eloquently puts it, ka-bonged him to the ice. Wennberg was skating across the offensive zone looking to get a shot off and forgot to look up, not a smart move with Wilson on the ice. Number 4 on our list is Wilson’s powerful punishment of Alex Wennberg on December 27th. Tom Wilson had the third-most hits in the league when the season went on pause so there are plenty of highlights to choose from amongst his 253 hits. #4 – Wilson Destroys Wennberg in Open Ice – December 27, 2019Ĭreamed /rcOx0E42Gs- NBC Sports Capitals December 28, 2019 That hit came after Carlson had already scored twice so yeah, he was feeling it that night. The Maple Leafs are an extremely skilled team, but not very physical and Carlson put that to the test when he stepped up at the defensive blue line and simply plastered him. John Carlson is more of a puck-mover than a hard-nosed, physical defenseman, but he brought it with his hit to Toronto Maple Leafs forward Trevor Moore in the first month of the season. This Carlson hit 👀 /vlwinDM4TR- NBC Sports Capitals March 31, 2020 #5 – Carlson Staples Moore to Boards – October 29, 2019 Today we look back on the best hits of the season. We’ve been counting down the top 20 games of the season and will recap multiple other categories over the coming weeks. With the NHL hitting pause on the 2019-20 season, NBC Sports Washington is looking back at the highlights from the first 69 games of the regular season.
