27 - Number of regular season games Alex Ovechkin has played since his last multi-goal outing, including 23 so far this season. This is the longest such stretch of Ovechkin's career since he went 37 games without a multi-goal effort between October 30, 2010 and January 20, 2011 (a span during which he scored just nine times, four fewer than he's managed during this current "drought"), and only the third time in his career he's gone 27 games without one (November 11, 2005 through January 12, 2006 being the third).
Since the last time Ovechkin scored at least two goals in a game (April 2, 2015 against the Habs), 137 players have combined for 183 multi-goal games, including four Caps - Nicklas Backstrom, Evgeny Kuznetsov, Jason Chimera and T.
