The Noon Number: Get Shorty

541 - Number of goals scored by Alex Ovechkin between his first career shorthanded goal and his second. Up until yesterday, Ovechkin had only scored a shorthanded goal once, all the way back in January of 2009 (also against the Rangers).

That changed last night when he jumped on the ice and picked up his second goal of the night with five seconds remaining on a New York power play... and ending a 914-game shorthanded drought.

Quite the goal to move into sole possession of fifth all-time, no?
