One of the NHL's top lines showed both grit and skill on the Washington Capitals' second goal against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

As the puck was heading behind and to the left of Matt Murray, Alex Ovechkin checked both Matt Cullen and Chris Kunitz, allowing T.J. Oshie to send a wicked backhand pass off to Nicklas Backstrom out front.

Backstrom finished off the play with his 13th goal of the season.

Teamwork at its finest.
