Ovechkin hits 802 as Jets fall to Capitals

Ken Wiebe and Sean Reynolds of Sportsnet look at the Winnipeg
Jets 4-1 loss to the Washington Capitals on Friday night. The
Jets lost consecutive games for just the third time this season
and have a record of 21-12-1 as they head into the Christmas
break. The Jets lone goal came from Kevin Stenlund and they
allowed two from Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin, who moved into
sole possession of second place on the all-time goal-scoring list
at 802, passing Gordie Howe in the process. The Jets are back in
action on Tuesday against the Minnesota Wild, who are just three
points behind Winnipeg while holding a game in hand.
