Ovechkin scored against father and son 19 years apart

[Alex K]

On september 22nd 2002 17-years old Ovechkin scored against Metallurg Novokuznetsk with Vadim Tarasov in net.
Unfortunately I couldn't find the video, only the summary of the game.
2002 год. 22 сентября (воскресенье) Динамо (Москва) - Металлург (Новокузнецк) 4:1 , 2002/03, дома

I'm willing to bet this is the first time a player has scored against father and son in professional leagues.

 

[HaNotsri]

Should probably be illegal

 

[GM Armchair]

Ovi is just a goal scoring machine

That'd be kinda hard to figure out, because of all the pro leagues around

but i guess the list of father son goalies playong pro must be pretty thin as is?

Who even thinks to look this stuff up? lol

Yes, I was thinking just that. So few father-son goalies in pro leagues, and the player scoring against both would need to have almost 20 year pro career, and other things, so it's pretty unique and rare to happen

There’s been atleast one in Finland, Jussi Markkanen and Juho Markkanen for example. Jussi had a long career and retired so late (2018) it’s not impossible, need to check if Kuusela, Kontiola or someone did it. Juho started his elite league career 2021.

Both played in Finnish Liiga, father played in NHL and kid was drafted already.

Just wait until he scores against Daniil's yet-unborn son in 24 years.

My point was same player scoring against father and son as goalies, like Ovie did. Sorry but it's a bit unclear, did you mean one player has scored against both Markkanen's or that it is possible?

Both are goalies and there was only few years between them, father retired 2018 and son started this year … both played for one of the weakest teams. Therefore it could be a lot of players who have scored against both actually.

Good point, I was thinking this in a too complicated way

i literally just did, pierre turgeon scored against bob sauve in 1988 and his son philippe sauve in 2006

took me less than two minutes

 

[Stringer Bell]

I think Brooks Laich assisted on Michael Nylanders last NHL goal ever and assisted on William Nylanders first. Could be wrong.

 

[Hockey Outsider]

I'm willing to bet this is the first time a player has scored against father and son in professional leagues.

If anyone has the answer to this, it would probably be @Doctor No

EDIT: it looks like @vadim sharifijanov beat us to this

 

[Super Hans]

Then you have the opposite case of Ken Griffey and Ken Griffey Jr hitting back-to-back home run off Kirk McCaskill in 1990.

 

[Carlzner]

Crazy

 

[holy]

The son had the whole Inigo Montoya speech ready and it all went down the toilet.

Jeremy Brodeur started playing in a pro league in 2017, and even had a cup of coffee in the AHL in 2020-21 (lol typo). It wouldn’t be a world beating long career for a player to have scored on him and Martin, who played his final game in January 2015.

Sounds like Matt Moulson scored the first AHL goal on Jeremy Brodeur, and he surely got a few against Martin in the NHL.

If you're including time travel in this then it's going to get a lot more complicated.

Yes, like I said I was thinking this in a way too complicated way.

 

[Tupu]

Nice feat. Similar to Raikkonen racing competitevely against Michael and Mick Schumachers.

 

[Nogatco Rd]

One of my favorite stats in all of pro sports:

in Nolan Ryan’s 24 seasons in the majors, he struck out seven father-son pairs

Isn't that more analogous to Gordie Howe assisting on goals by Mark and Marty Howe, or vice versa?

 

[WarriorofTime]

I'm willing to bet this is the first time a player has scored against father and son in professional leagues.

Seems like something Gordie Howe may have done considering his pro career spanned 34 years.
