Should he score tonight, it'll be the fifth time in his career Ovechkin reached the mark before any player, all of which occurred in the last seven seasons. Additionally, Ovechkin is one goal shy of joining Gartner () as the only players in NHL history to begin their career with consecutive 0-goal seasons, and one of three players in NHL history with seasons with at least 0 goals (Gartner: 7; Jaromir Jagr: seasons). Coming into tonight s game, Ovechkin is coming off a personal-best and a season-high game point streak (7g, 6a- previously: games, Dec. 0, 006 through Feb., 007, 0 points). Ovechkin, who is, became the eighth player in NHL history to post a point streak of at least games at age or older and first since Luc Robitaille had a -game run at age in Ovechkin is now five goals shy of passing Dave Andreychuk (60) for th place on the NHL's all-time scoring list.
