Unfortunately Luke Wright, who has faded since starting the tournament so strongly, mis-hooked RP Singh in only the second over and was comfortably taken by Yusuf Pathan inside the circle at fine leg.
Ovechkin then went to the box to serve the second infraction, and he watched the score become 3-1 just 41 seconds later, when Rick Nash's one-timer from the right circle grazed Callahan's right leg on the way to the net.
