For good measure, Ovechkin is also #3 all-time in hits.

Just an utterly unique player that we will never see again. His playing weight is 240 lbs lmao

I hope he does.

He rarely breaks. Take the work stoppages out and Gretzky's record would already be history.

Ovi has 62, Gretzky 56. They are 1 and 2 all time.

Without question. I think Iafrate might have invented it.

Possibly accidentally, but still...

I think he's up against it now to break the record this season. Caps have 34 games to go and he needs 20. His pace is good though.

He has 22 in 32 games so far.

Of course, he missed 16 games this year.

I need him to score 20 in the next 18...I'll be in Southern California and was going to make the trip up to LA for the Kings-Capitals game on Mar. 13...would be cool to see live.

Capitals final game is against the Penguins though...would be fitting for him to break the record against his biggest rival.

I saw Selanne break the Rookie scoring record in Winnipeg, it was a great night.

You can tell all of the Capitals players are pushing hard to get him the record. Everyone goes nuts when he scores a goal.
