NOTE OF THE NIGHT Great 8 - Alex Ovechkin registered his 8th multi-goal game on Thursday against the Boston Bruins to boost his career point total to 69-5,7 and surpass Bobby Hull (60g, 560a) for sole possession of 50th place on the NHL s all-time points list. San Jose

9 Sharks forward Joe Thornton (ranked 6th; 05g,,0a) is the only other active NHL player to rank in the top 50. Ovechkin leads the NHL with goals this season as he aims to break a tie with Hull for the most seasons as the NHL s goal-scoring leader. Both have led the League in goals on seven occasions. Ovechkin also moved past Mike Bossy (7) and Jaromir Jagr (7) for the ninth-most multigoal games in NHL history, three back of tying Teemu Selanne () for eighth. In NHL history, 6,86 NHL players have played in at least one NHL game and have recorded 8 goals or fewer in their career. Ovechkin is now two goals shy of passing Dave Andreychuk (60) for th place on the NHL's all-time scoring list. Among the top 0 goal scorers all-time, Ovechkin's 0.6 goals per game ranks second (Mario Lemieux: 0.75 goals per game). Ovechkin, who is already the all-time goal scorer among Russian-born players, is now nine points away from passing Sergei Fedorov (8g, 696a in,8 games) to become the highest scoring Russian-born player alltime.

Vrana has 5 goals this season and is three points shy of setting a new single season high in points. Vrana's 5 goals this season rank second on the Capitals (Alex Ovechkin: ). Vrana is on pace to record 8 goals this season. Should Vrana reach the 5 goal mark, he will become the fourth different Capitals draft pick to record at least 5 goals in a season since 00 (Alex Ovechkin: nine times; Evgeny Kuznetsov: once; Alex Semin: once). Additionally, Vrana has been on the ice for 5 goals at five-on-five this season and just 8 goals against at five-on-five, the best differential among forwards on the Capitals. Holtbeast - Braden Holtby stopped 9 of the shots against the Boston Bruins on Thursday and has now stopped 6 of the last 66 shots he's faced over his last two games, both wins (Jan. 6 at Detroit Red Wings).

Oshie s goals this season are tied for third on the Capitals and his 5.7 on-ice shot attempt percentage ( shot attempts for and 97 against) at five-on-five rank first among Capitals forwards. Oshie is three games shy of 700 career games and 7 points shy of 500 career points. Oshie is aiming to become the 6th player from the 005 NHL Draft class to reach the 700 game mark and the sixth forward to reach the 500 point mark.
