Alex Ovechkin scored two goals, tying an NHL record, before leaving with an apparent leg injury to propel the Washington Capitals to a 6-2 victory over the Utah Hockey Club on Monday night.

Alex Ovechkin scored two more goals to move closer to Wayne Gretzky’s all-time mark, but his status is in question after a collision forced him out of the game.

McBain and Nick Bjugstad scored for Utah (7-8-3), which has lost five of seven (2-4-1). Connor Ingram allowed four goals on 13 shots being replaced early in the second period by Karel Vejmelka, who stopped nine of 11 shots in relief.
