We don’t know whether this will be Alex Ovechkin’s final season as a Washington Capital or not, but there’s never a bad time to reflect back on two decades of being treated to this amazing talent. So each game day throughout the 2025-26 season, we’re going to be picking an Ovechkin moment to remember against that day’s opponent!
Goal #767 – 3/15/2022
Before Gretzky was anywhere close to being in his sights, Alex Ovechkin first had to climb the ladder of the NHL’s all-time goal-scorers. It seemed an almost monthly occurrence that he would knock another rung off that ladder – crossing into the 700s and passing Mike Gartner (708), then Phil Esposito (717), Marcel Dionne (731), and Brett Hull (741).
