Ovechkin has now scored 50 goals in one season six times in his career and joined the likes of Mario Lemieux, Marcel Dionne, and Guy Lafleaur. Wayne Gretzky and Mike Bossy both did it nine times.

“Every year is harder and harder, but it’s a huge (accomplishment) being with the names up there,” Ovechkin said. “It’s always nice. Every year, you don’t know what to expect from yourself and how you’re going to play.”

Ovechkin’s 50th goal was his 472nd career goal in his tenth season in Washington.
