Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin has become the 20th player in NHL history to reach 600 career goals, further cementing his status as one of the league's all-time best offensive talents.
Ovechkin's goal was unassisted and came 3:53 into the second period against the Winnipeg Jets on Monday night. It's also his 42nd goal this season, which leads the NHL. He scored No. 600 in his 990th career game.
At 32 years old, Ovechkin is the third-youngest player in NHL history to reach 600 goals. Only Hockey Hall of Famers Wayne Gretzky (894 goals) and Mario Lemieux (690) did it sooner.
