Alex Ovechkin added to his league-leading goal total in Washington's 4-3 loss to Pittsburgh on Wednesday night, and he had to overcome a couple of obstacles before he could put in goal No. 34.
Alex Ovechkin loses stick, then scores anyway
You’re going to have to try harder than this to stop Alex Ovechkin from scoring.


That's Penguins defenseman Brooks Orpik knocking Ovechkin's stick out of hand (which is normally a penalty), and then Ovechkin reaching down, picking it up just in time to receive a pass from the goal line, and then one-timing a shot past Marc-Andre Fleury.
It’s not quite the goal he scored on Tuesday, but it’s still pretty awesome.
