Ovechkin, Binnington team up for historic NHL moment

Alex Ovechkin finally scores career goal No. 900, but the historic feat was upstaged by Blues goalie Jordan Binnington trying to hide the prized puck in his pants. Sean Gentille, Max Bultman and Dom Luszczyszyn discuss that and take a look at how parity in the East is helping and hurting teams in that conference. Plus, the guys take a closer look at five players who have leveled-up this year.
