Alex Ovechkin Passes Gordie Howe, Securing All-Time Lead in Goals w/ One Franchise

Alex Ovechkin's powerplay goal against Arizona pushed him past Gordie Howe - Mr. Hockey, himself - becoming the NHL's all-time leader in goals for one club with 787. The goal was scored from the spot in which approximately 35% of Ovechkin's have come in his career, right around the right face-off dot relative to the goalie. Karel Vejmelka never stood a chance.

As the internet so kindly pointed out, as great as Ovi's record-setting score, this goal is only the second-most iconic goal versus the Coyotes.
