Alex Ovechkin wipes out during goal celebration

Washington Capitals left winger Alex Ovechkin wiped out during a goal celebration in the opening minute of the first period during Sunday's game against Toronto.

Ovechkin scored his 40th goal of the season just 33 seconds into the game. Ovechkin threw himself into the boards in excitement, then promptly lost his balance and wiped out. Fortunately, he didn't hurt himself, or that would have been even more embarrassing.

Here's the full video of Ovechkin's goal, shot through the 5-hole:



Ovechkin was the No. 2 star of the game with two goals and an assist as the Caps shut out the Maple Leafs 4-0.
