Alex Ovechkin continues to gain ground on Wayne Gretzky in his pursuit of The Great One's all-time scoring record. The 39-year-old netted his 21st goal of the season during overtime on Thursday against the Ottawa Senators, registering the first and last goal of the game.
Both goaltenders were at their best on Thursday, with neither team able to score a single goal throughout the entire 60 minutes of regulation. Ovechkin took matters into his own hands during his lone shift of the five-minute overtime period, burying the game-winner with just under two minutes left on the clock.
