The Noon Countdown: Thirty for Ten

Counting down the days until the 2015-16 season with a look at yet another milestone for the Great Eight.

...the number of games it took for Alex Ovechkin to score goal #30 in 2014-15 (the first of three he had in that game against new teammate T.J. Oshie and the St. Louis Blues). That marked the tenth time in Ovechkin's decade-long career in which he's scored at least 30 goals, becoming just the fifth player in NHL history to achieve that feat in each of his first ten seasons.
