700/700 for Ovechkin.

6 SOG and 6 hits is a good sign

41 G needed in 164 games, 1 goal every 4 games...

He is definitely skating a lot better this season.

700/700 for Ovechkin.

The math guy in me says that's a perfect 100 percent.

 

[Randyne]

So he left Andreychuk and Shanahan behind and now Ovechkin is:
#3 all-time LW by assists (among 1660 LW)
#12 all-time winger by assists (among 3223 wingers)
If he can surpass Robitaille and Alfredsson this season he becomes #2 LW and #10 winger all-time by assists

Ugliest goal of his career but it brings him 1 closer. They all count the same

The ugliest one was probably the one he scored against Phoenix where a Coyote player scored on his own net, and Ovi was simply the last Cap to touch the puck before that.

Coincidentally, he scored THE goal in the very same game.

That’s true, I totally forgot about that one!

Are you saying the next goal could be a highlight reel goal?

I hope so.

1 in every 4 games, thats all he needs to get 40

One relatively obscure milestone Ovechkin could achieve in 2024 - he's 34 ES points away from becoming only the 10th player in NHL history to reach 1,000 ES points.

He's also 20 primary points away from becoming the 9th player in NHL history to reach 1,300 primary points.

One more obscure stat - Ovechkin now ranks 8th all-time with 816 ES primary points. (Only ten players in NHL history have 800 ES primary points - McDavid will presumably get there at some point in the early to mid 2030's).

Man I love this player

Tom Wilson apparently took Ovie’s scoring ability
