Ovechkin hits 500-goal mark in Caps’ triumph
Print Edition
Washington’s Alex Ovechkin became the 43rd National Hockey League player to reach the milestone of 500 career goals, as he netted twice in the Capitals’ 7-1 rout of the Ottawa Senators on Sunday.
The Russian was mobbed by his teammates, and he got a standing ovation as he skated around the rink, acknowledging the cheers from the crowd, which included his parents. The Capitals moved a whopping 18 points clear in the Metropolitan Division. Ovechkin, 30, reached the 500 mark in vintage fashion, scoring from just beyond the left hash marks during a second-period powerplay to give the Capitals a 5-1 lead. At 801 games, the Russian winger is the fifth-fastest player to 500 goals, trailing only Hall of Famers Wayne Gretzky (575 games), Mario Lemieux (605), Mike Bossy (647) and Brett Hull (693).
