It was also Ovechkin's 800th career game. If he can score #500 in his next two games, he'll be the 5th-fastest player to 500 goals (behind Gretzky, Lemieux, Bossy, and Brett Hull). Phil Esposito hit #500 in 803 games.
It has been just over 4 years since the last player (Iginla) scored his 500th career goal (January 7, 2012).
