For the eighth time in 11 seasons, Alex Ovechkin has reached the 40-goal mark. The latest snipe for the Washington Capitals superstar came against Darcy Kuemper and the Minnesota Wild.
Only five players in NHL history have recorded more 40-goal seasons.
The goal puts Ovechkin five ahead of Patrick Kane atop the NHL leaderboard, putting him in line to win a fourth-straight Maurice Richard Trophy.
