#OviWatch
Last night, Ovi scored an empty net goal to tie Joe Sakic and Jarome Iginla for 15th overall. Given his torrid rate of scoring - 18 goals in 24 games this season - he is on pace to score 61 goals this year, which actually puts Luc Robataille in reach, if he keeps it up. Although he is currently in 4th place for the Rocket Richard trophy, I believe that race is not yet over, and that Ovi will take the lead some time in January and never look back. The man is a goal-scoring machine!
Next up is Dave Andreychuk, with 640 goals in 1639 games played.
01 - Wayne Gretzky - 894 G in 1487 GP +269
02 - Gordie Howe - 801 G in 1767 GP +176
03 - Jaromír Jágr - 765 G in 1714 GP +140
04 - Brett Hull - 741 G in 1269 GP +116
05 - Marcel Dionne - 731 G in 1348 GP +106
06 - Phil Esposito - 717 G in 1282 GP + 92
07 - Mike Gartner - 708 G in 1432 GP + 83
08 - Mark Messier - 694 G in 1756 GP + 69
09 - Steve Yzerman - 692 G in 1514 GP + 67
10 - Mario Lemieux - 690 G in 915 GP + 65
11 - Teemu Selänne - 684 G in 1451 GP + 59 not bloody likely

14 - Dave Andreychuk - 640 G in 1639 GP + 1515 - Alex Ovechkin - 625 G in 1027 GP Tied
16 - Joe Sakic - 625 G in 1378 GP Tied
17 - Jarome Iginla - 625 G in 1554 GP Tied
#BackstromWatch
Last night, Nicklas Backstrom scored his 22nd assist of the season, in 24 games played. With 6 goals, Backstrom is better than a point-per-game player this season so far. His three assists last night put his career total at 612, good for 82nd overall. 827 points puts him in sole possession of 2nd in the franchise for points (behind only Ovechkin)! He is 147th overall in the points category.
