Two of the living legends playing in the National Hockey League continued to set their respective marks on the record books Tuesday.
Washington Capitals forward Alex Ovechkin moved closer to yet another milestone by moving his career goal total up to 698 through a hat trick against the Los Angeles Kings.
Joe Thornton of the San Jose Sharks did not score Tuesday, but he produced two assists to become the 14th player in league history to reach 1,500 points.
The pair of accomplishments stood out among a night chock full of terrific performances over 13 games.
