Alex Ovechkin had quite a historic game at the old Nassau Coliseum. Ovechkin scored a hat trick in his second consecutive game. The outing was Ovechkin’s third multi-goal game in a row – a new personal record.
After the game, Ovechkin took a photo holding all his milestone pucks from the evening. Ovechkin’s first goal (690) tied Mario Lemieux for 10th on the all-time goals list, the second pushed him past Mario (691), and the third tied him for ninth with Steve Yzerman (692).

Frame this photo and put those pucks in the Ovi museum.
They’re keepers.
