9 Streaking Ovi Coming into tonight s game, Alex Ovechkin is riding a personal-best and a season-high game point streak (7g, 6apreviously: games, Dec. 0, 006 through Feb., 007, 0 points). The Capitals' franchise record for most consecutive games with a point is 7, twice accomplished by Mike Gartner (Feb., 98 through April, 98: points; Oct., 98 through Nov., 98: 8g, a). 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 also extended his goal streak to six games, one shy of equaling the best run of his career (Feb. 0 - March 8, 006: seven games). Alan Haworth (98-86) and Gartner (986-87) share the franchise record of nine consecutive games with a goal. 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. Ovechkin has been the first player to reach the 0 goal mark in a season four times in his career, all of which occurred in the last six seasons. TOP FIVE CAPS FACTS First Star - Alex Ovechkin was named the First Star of the Week for the week ending Dec. 6. Ovechkin paced the NHL with seven goals in three games, including back-to-back hat tricks, to lead the Caps to a -0-0 week and a 0-9- record overall, good for first in the Metropolitan Division. Ovechkin scored three times in each of his first two outings, a 6- victory (including the game-winning goal) against the Detroit Red Wings Dec. and a 6- shootout triumph over the Carolina Hurricanes Dec.. Those served as the st and nd hat tricks of Ovechkin s career, tying him with Teemu Selanne for the th most in NHL history. It also marked the second time Ovechkin has registered hat tricks in consecutive team games, a feat he achieved last year in the first two games of the season. Ovechkin closed the week with one goal in regulation as well as the shootout winner in a - victory against the Buffalo Sabres Dec.. This season, Ovechkin has recorded a point in all 0 wins, one of seven players in the NHL to do so, but the only player in the NHL with points in every game with a team that has at least 0 wins (Colorado's Mikko Rantanen and Nathan MacKinnon: points in 8 wins; Philadelphia's Claude Giroux: points in wins; Florida's Evgenii Dadonov: points in wins; New Jersey's Kyle Palmieri: points in wins; Chicago's Patrick Kane: points in 0 wins).
