An interesting fact about tonight’s Caps-Avalanche game

“Eight is a good number,” Alex Ovechkin said on January 31 after passing Mark Messier for eighth on the NHL’s all-time goals list.

Thursday night in Colorado, Ovechkin will have another chance to become the eighth player in NHL history to hit the 700-goal milestone if he can score twice.

The game is NHL game number 888 of the season.
