Ovechkin and the Capitals will have two games with traditional broadcasts on TNT and Max this week – vs. the Carolina Hurricanes on Wednesday at 7 p.m. ET and vs. the New York Islanders on Sunday at 12:30 p.m. ET.
TNT Sports will also produce an Ovechkin-focused alternative telecast of both Capitals games – The OviCast – featuring an isolated camera on Ovechkin for the duration of each contest on truTV and Max. The OviCast will display Ovechkin’s live stats, his historical numbers and on-ice audio from the NHL on TNT broadcast.
Bleacher Report and B/R Open Ice will also have wall-to-wall coverage of the #Gr8Chase as Ovechkin nears the historic milestone.
