The Noon Number: Storm Chaser

51 - Assists for Alex Ovechkin against the Hurricanes over the course of his career, the only team in the NHL he has at least 50 assists against. In fact, no other player has had more overall offensive success against the ‘Canes since their move to NC in 1997; Ovechkin has racked up 92 points in 79 games vs. Carolina, 18 more than any other active player (and just narrowly edging out Martin St. Louis for the lead, although MSL played 83 games against the ‘Canes).

Interestingly enough, Ovechkin has picked up more assists than goals against the Hurricanes over the years, with “just” 41 goals (which also leads all players since ‘97) to go along with those 51 helpers.
