Alex Ovechkin has etched his name in NHL history by becoming the player with the most goaltenders scored against, netting his record-breaking goal against Leevi Merilainen of the Ottawa Senators. This overtime goal secured a 1-0 victory for the Washington Capitals, marking the 179th goalie Ovechkin has scored against, surpassing Jaromir Jagr's previous record.

Ovechkin's impressive scoring feat came on his third shot of the night, following a well-timed 2-on-1 breakaway pass from teammate Rasmus Sandin. The 39-year-old winger continues to chase Wayne Gretzky's all-time goals record, now sitting at 874 career goals, just 21 shy of Gretzky's legendary mark.
