Wednesday's Washington Capitals-Carolina Hurricanes game is more than another chance for Alex Ovechkin to pull closer to Wayne Gretzky's goal record.
It also is important to the NHL playoff standings.
The Hurricanes will clinch a playoff spot if they beat the visiting Capitals. Washington (105 points) can move 13 points ahead of Carolina (94) with a regulation victory and pull closer to a division title. The Capitals can also pass the idle Winnipeg Jets for best record in the league.
The Capitals will be playing their second road game in two nights after beating the Boston Bruins 4-3 Tuesday to end a three-game losing streak.
Ovechkin scored his 891st goal in that game and needs four more in the Capitals' eight remaining games to break Gretzky's record this season.
Here's what to know about Wednesday's game between the Capitals and Hurricanes:
The Capitals play the Hurricanes at 7 p.m. ET Wednesday at Lenovo Center in Raleigh, North Carolina.
The game is being aired by TNT and truTV. The truTV broadcast will feature an OviCast. An isolated camera will be on Ovechkin for the duration of the game. The alternate telecast will display Ovechkin’s live stats, his historical numbers and on-ice audio from the NHL on TNT broadcast.
The game can be streamed on Max and Sling. Max will have the OviCast.
Ovechkin has 51 goals in 91 career regular-season games against the Hurricanes, including one in an earlier meeting this season. He has scored 31 goals at Lenovo Center.
