Despite Ovechkin’s thrilling game-tying goal, Gretzky would ultimately win the friendly with 1:24 left in overtime, beating Braden Holtby in front of the net on a broken play.

The Capitals later announced they raised $41,041.
What an incredible night!
Thanks to all who helped us raise over $20,000 for COVID-19 relief!
And a special thank you to the Gretzky and Ovechkin families for matching the donation to push the total to over $40,000 for @MSEFndn’s “Feeding the Frontlines” fund and @yegfoodbank. pic.twitter.com/jPk4pKvYOJ
