In the successful game for the “Capitals,” Ovechkin did not tally a single goal. However, the 40-year-old forward assisted Justin Sourdif, who scored a brace.
Ovi now has 34 (15 goals + 19 assists) points in the current regular season. The only one on the club surpassing the Russian in this metric is the Canadian Tom Wilson, who has 38 (20+18) points.
Note that Artemiy Panarin recorded an assist double for the “Rangers.” He now has 41 (14+27) points in 41 matches. Additionally, Panarin achieved an interesting milestone. He is the fifth player not born in North America to accumulate 90 points or more in a calendar year at least five times. The Finn Jari Kurri and the Czech Peter Stastny (both 8 times), as well as the German Leon Draisaitl and Ovechkin (both 5 times), boast the same accomplishment.
