7 - Number of former Caps’ goalies Alex Ovechkin has scored against in his career (after they’ve left DC), with Kings’ netminder Pheonix Copley becoming the latest to join this club last night in LA.

Here’s the full list of former ‘mates to give up a goal to Ovechkin:
- Olie Kolzig
- Brent Johnson
- Semyon Varlamov

Ovechkin has now scored against 169 different goalies in his career, third-most behind Patrick Marleau (177) and Jaromir Jagr (178).
