Alex Ovechkin’s goalscoring should be slowing due to his age. Instead Ovi’s leading the league in goals at age 32 and is on pace for over 50 for the eighth time in his legendary career.

The worst pass of Alex Ovechkin’s career ended up being an empty-net goal

Thursday night in Boston, the Russian machine was on the ice in the third period while the Bruins had their goalie pulled. After gathering in a chip up the boards by Matt Niskanen, Ovechkin looked to hit Tom Wilson on the opposite wing with a pass.
