When Alex Ovechkin beat Leevi Merilainen in overtime last night, he not only secured two big points for the Caps and inched even closer to Wayne Gretzky’s all-time goals record, he also set a(nother) new mark that may never be beat: most goalies scored on.

Fittingly, this is a run of only 179 bobbleheads, so be sure to get yours before they sell out.
