The Noon Countdown: Ovi-Time

...the number of regular-season overtime goals scored by Alex Ovechkin over the course of his career, which is the best mark in franchise history (and seven better than the next guy on the list, Mike Gartner). That's the third-highest total among all active players, trailing only Patrik Elias (16) and Jaromir Jagr - and is tied for third in NHL history with Mats Sundin and Sergei Fedorov - all before appearing in his 800th game.
