Scoring numerous highlight reel goals throughout his illustrious career thus far, Alexander Ovechkin thoroughly impressed the Washington hopefuls at Capital One Arena when he netted an amazing goal vs Carey Price and the Montreal Canadiens, on March 18, 2009. Rebounding the puck off the boards after an errant pass near the Habs’ blue line, Ovie then raced toward the net from the left side, and appearing to pull the puck to his backhand, lifted it over Price’s blocker as he was being taken to the ice. This photo-matched Capitals’ alternate captain’s jersey is the very specimen Ovechkin was wearing when he scored the noteworthy marker. A CCM label with “58” sizing is affixed to the collar, with embroidered NHL and Reebok crests on the front and back necklines respectively. Styled with an attractive Capitals’ crest in tri-colour twill with embroidered details, the solid red V-neck has been embellished with tackle twill sleeve and verso numbers, with each sleeve customized and “pinched-in”. From a Hart Memorial, Ted Lindsay and Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy-winning season, a MeiGray patch numbered “F07310” has been affixed to the inside hem, with a matching LOA to accompany.
We should note that the jersey was worn in five contests including the March 18 match vs Montreal. The additional four are Feb. 20 vs. Colorado, Feb. 22 vs. Pittsburgh, Feb. 24 vs. Philadelphia and Feb. 26 vs. Atlanta. Exhibiting nice use with faint marks and burns over each sleeve and the shoulders, there is also a trio of team repairs on the right sleeve along with a single example over the right shoulder.

Lastly, Getty Image #85133226 (Feb 26, 2009) has been matched to the small black mark on the top left of the #8 on the left sleeve, and to the small black dot on the left upper portion of the #8 over the reverse.
