[10-Nov-2015] Let's talk about some more records...

Most overtime goals currently belongs to Jaromir Jagr, with 19, scored in 1562 games.

Ovechkin has 15 in his 772 games, good for third all  time, and tied with Mats Sundin (15 in 1346) and our old friend Sergei Fedorov (15 in 1248). I see Ovi easily eclipsing this mark in his career, especially now that overtime is 3-on-3 instead of 4-on-4...

Most game winning goals also belongs to Jagr, with 129 in 1562 games played.

Ovechkin has 81 in his 772 games, good for 24th place. I also see Ovi eclipsing this mark. He needs only 48 game winning goals to get there.

Most power play goals belongs to Joe Sakic, with 631 in 1378 games played.

Ovechkin is in 48th place, with 357 in his 772 games. He needs 274 more to catch Sakic, and I think he will do that as well...

Shorthanded goals? Not a snowball's chance in a blast furnace will we ever see a name on the top of that list that isn't a centerman. Wayne Gretzky (natch) owns the record, at 73 in 1487 games.

Let's look at that number again. 73. Short-handed goals. Jesus Hockey-loving Christ, that's a shit-ton of epic proportions! Mark Messier is closest, with 63. Among active players, Marian Hossa, with his 30 in 1184 games, is closest... and he's 20th on the list.

Has Ovi EVER scored a short-handed goal? Why yes, yes he has. A whopping four times.

Brooks Laich holds the Capitals' record for short-handed goals, with 10 (among active players). Peter Bondra had 32 in his career, followed by Bengt-Ake Gustafsson, with 17. I'm fairly sure it's safe to say that there is no way in hell that Ovi will score 69 short-handed goals in the rest of his career, not as infrequently as he's out there on the penalty kill.

The rest, though? Stack 'em up, and like Russian-dressing-filled babushka dolls, Ovi will knock 'em down! I feel it in my bones. :-)
