The 36-year-old is having another fantastic season, and with his goal tonight, Ovechkin is up to 80 points. Ovechkin has now recorded 80 or more points in a single-season for the tenth time in his seventeen year career.

With ten games remaining after tonight, there's no doubt that Ovechkin will hit fifty goals for the ninth time in his career.

Congratulations to 'The Great 8' on yet another big milestone!
