Filed under: Capitals, PenguinsWASHINGTON — The original Alexander the Great didn't have this kind success so early in his rule.Counting Sunday's 5-4 overtime victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins, Alex Ovechkin's tenure as team captain has been nearly flawless. Ovechkin is now 17-1-0 since the promotion, a run that includes the team's current 14-game winning streak, tied for third-longest in NHL history and three behind the all-time mark held by the 1992-93 Penguins.Along wit…
