Alex Ovechkin is one of the greatest goalscorers of all time and one of the major reasons why is his consistency.

Ovechkin has bucked regression due to aging, and as Japers’ Rink recently pointed out, the Russian machine has scored the same amount of goals in his first 540 games as he has in his last 540 games: 328.

That is mind-blowing. The steadiness of the graphs are just as crazy.

The stat, dug up by Jon Press, has gone viral in hockey circles, where it surged to top of the page of Reddit Hockey and was shared by several popular social media accounts.

If Ovechkin’s consistency stays true to form, we should expect him to do this tonight against the Lightning.
