Alex Ovechkin Has Another NHL Record

Despite how good he is, Alex Ovechkin doesn’t have too many NHL records. After scoring in overtime against the Red Wings on Friday, the 20th in OT in his career, he passed Jaromir Jagr for most ever in the regular season.

Other NHL records held by Ovi, most of which were done years ago:

  • Most goals by a left wing, one season. He scored 65 in 2007-2008.
  • Fastest regular season OT goal: Ovechkin, Mats Sundin,, and David Legwand, 6 seconds

He also has the record more most Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophies but that only started in 1998.
