Ovechkin’s goal-scoring pace
Adam Getz: “Alex Ovechkin has 24 goals in the Capitals’ 30th game. He has never had more goals 30 games into a season. He is 33 years old.
Only three players have scored 50+ goals in a season at age 33+. Ovechkin is halfway there 30 games into the season.”
Brian McNally: “Last year Alex Ovechkin hit the 24-goal, 38-point mark in the same game on Dec. 28, 2017 against the Bruins. That was Game No. 39. This year he gets to 24 goals, 38 points on Dec.
