Out of curiosity, I looked up Ovechkin and Gretzky's number of goals scored in a game:
Gretzky, in 1487 total games played:
- 5 goals in a game 4 times
- 4 goals in a game 9 times
- 3 goals in a game 37 times
- 2 goals in a game 139 times
- 1 goal in a game 449 times
- 0 goals in a game 849 times
Ovechkin, in 1512 total games played:
- 5 goals in a game 0 times
- 4 goals in a game 4 times
- 3 goals in a game 29 times
- 2 goals in a game 147 times
- 1 goal in a game 510 times
- 0 goals in a game 822 times
