With two assists in Washington’s win over the St. Louis Blues Thursday, Alex Ovechkin continued to move up the NHL’s all-time points list. He currently sits in 82nd place all-time with 1,007 career points. Ovechkin jumped Lanny MacDonald, who recorded 1,006 career points.
MacDonald is an NHL legend and was arguably the most popular player in the game during his career. His trademark red mustache and curly hair, paired with his big personality, made him a fan favorite nearly everywhere he went.
Remembered mostly for his time with the Calgary Flames, MacDonald played 16 years in the NHL.
