Monday night, two of the NHL's best players went at it as Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals squared off against Carey Price and the Canadiens.

Price and Ovi have been battling for years and we saw both players get the better of one another as Ovechkin scored twice and Price made a save-of-the-year candidate to deny him of a hat trick and the game winning goal with under a second to play in the final frame.

If you haven't seen the save yet, go out of your way to watch it because it was incredible and have a look at Ovechkin's initial reaction to the save because it was amazing, too.

That face was everyone after that save.

Ovechkin also applauded Price after the save and gave him a high-five, showing him the ultimate sign of respect.
