Alex Ovechkin's slump is over.
After scoring one goal in his previous eight games, Ovechkin had a hat trick in the Washington Capitals' six-goal first period, and he finished with five points in the 10-2 victory over the Boston Bruins Monday.

Ovechkin hadn't scored in seven consecutive games before notching a goal in Saturday's 3-2 loss against Toronto. He broke loose against the Bruins with three goals and two assists to spark Washington, which jumped to a 6-0 lead on the way to a season-high 10 goals.
"Today, everything just went to the net," Ovechkin said. "You are going to score [in] lots of games, and some you [won't]. I always tell myself not to think about goals and to just play how I can."
Ovechkin's three goals give him a league-leading 52 and made him the first to 50 in the NHL this season. He's the third player in franchise history to reach that mark twice, and this ties a career high.
