Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin is off to another furious start, with six goals in his first six games. Where does he rank all time?
Who is the NHL's greatest goal scorer in history?
Greg Wyshynski, senior NHL writer: The best goal scorer in NHL history is Alex Ovechkin. This is something observable, as teams have had over a decade to defend his shot, only to find it virtually indefensible. This is something quantifiable, as Ovechkin has 613 career goals at 33 years of age. If this is another 50-goal season for the Ovi, he could rank as high as 13th all-time by the end of it.
