The Noon Number: Dozen Duo

4 - Number of sets of teammates to both score at least 12 goals in a single postseason over the last 20 years, with Alex Ovechkin and Evgeny Kuznetsov becoming the latest duo to join this elite club. The last teammates to accomplish this were Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin in 2009; Detroit’s Johan Franzen and Henrik Zetterberg did it the year before, and Ruslan Fedotenko and Brad Richards both hit the 12-goal mark back in 2004.

Ovechkin has posted 14 goals so far this spring, tying him with John Druce for the franchise record in a single playoff run, while Kuznetsov is just two behind with 12 goals in his own right.
