Alex Ovechkin, the sensational left wing of the Washington Capitals in the National Hockey League, has picked up not one, but two Most Valuable Player awards. Ovechkin, who set an NHL scoring record for left wings this past season with 65 goals, won both the Hart Award from hockey writers and the Lester B. Pearson Award, which is determined by a vote of the players. Ovechkin’s fantastic play this year resulted in the Capitals making the playoffs for the first time in five years. He says his next quest now is to bring the Stanley Cup, NHL’s highest honor, to the nation’s capital.
