It isn't like AO was a one man team or came close to pulling a Tavares and single handidly raising his game to take his team to the play-offs.
3 Alex Ovechkin WSH L 48 32 24 56 +2

16 Nicklas Backstrom WSH C 48 8 40 48 +8

17 John Tavares NYI C 48 28 19 47 -2

.. Troy Brouwer WSH R 47 19 14 33 -5

.. Mike Green WSH D 35 12 14 26 -3


A (admittedly superficial) glance at the relevant statistics makes it look like one player on this list did more heavy lifting than the others.
