Watch: Ovechkin scores 3 power-play goals from his office

A note to NHL defensemen: cover Alex Ovechkin.

The future Hall of Famer has made a career out of sniping from his usual spot on the Washington Capitals' power play, but that didn't stop the Minnesota Wild from leaving him open there on three different occasions.

And the Russian sniper burned them all three times, completing a hat trick of near-identical tallies.

Not exactly Nikita Kucherov-level identical goals, but it's fair to assume Ovechkin wasn't surprising anyone with those shots.

With the trio, Ovechkin earned his 112th career multi-goal night, moving him past Teemu Selanne for the most since the 1994-95 lockout.
