WASHINGTON (AP) - Alex Ovechkin called it the worst game of his career.

Not so much because the reigning rookie of the year only took two shots and went pointless for a third consecutive outing, his longest NHL drought - although that clearly bothered him. What really disappointed Ovechkin about his Washington Capitals' 3-2 shootout loss to the Boston Bruins on Tuesday night was the penalty he was assessed in the third period, leading to Patrice Bergeron's game-tying power-play goal.

"So it's my fault we lost game," Ovechkin said.

The mark of a leader...the puck stops at Ovechkin...
