On the 19th anniversary of the ‘simply sensational’ goal in Phoenix, and with the overtime winner in Thursday’s 1-0 win against Ottawa, Alex Ovechkin scored on his 179th goalie, breaking a tie with Jaromir Jagr for most netminders scored on in NHL history.
It was also Ovechkin’s 874th goal, leaving him only 21 goals to pass Wayne Gretzky for most all time.
Also, this was Ovechkin’s 134th game-winning goal, leaving him only two behind taking another record from Jagr.
