When you're the leading the NHL in all time powerplay goals, and you're chasing Wayne Gretzky for the all-time lead in goals, you'd think you would want every chance on the powerplay possible.
Not Ovechkin. Ovechkin knows he went down easy on this play and when the whistle blew to call a penalty, he told the ref no and negated the powerplay. You don't see this very often and it's a very classy move by Ovechkin.
