Ovechkin hasn't reached 1,600 yet. He has 1,570 points through 1,442 games and has been averaging about 0.95 PPG over the past three yeas. Assuming he gets there (which he will, barring a sudden career-ending injury), he'll likely displace Howe for 10th place - but it could be close.

Look at how Crosby and Ovechkin rank better, the higher up the list we go. That's a testament to how well they've aged.

Note - for these lists, I've simply slotted in Crosby and Ovechkin to the data in the first post. I haven't looked into whether anyone else may have passed them. (I don't think there would be many, but there could be a few).

McDavid faster to 1000 is the only example I can think of

Out of curiosity, I checked Malkin. He got to each of the 1,000 to 1,300 point milestones faster than Ovechkin (which currently isn't reflected in the table above) - he got to those milestones in 848, 935, 1,031 and 1,148 games.

I also checked Kane, and as expected, he was slower to reach 1,000 to 1,200 than Ovechkin.
