Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin met an 18-week-old black Labrador puppy named 'Ovi' in his honor on October 18. The naming celebrates Ovechkin's record-breaking 895th NHL goal and his 1,500th career game. The puppy will train to assist a disabled U.S. veteran or first responder through America’s VetDogs.
