Alex Ovechkin needed just one shift to take care of his latest milestone.

The Washington Capitals star scored 35 seconds into Wednesday's game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, snapping home his 20th goal of the season and registering his 1,000th career point in the process.

By hitting quadruple digits in his 880th career game, Ovechkin became the second-fastest active player to accomplish the feat behind Florida Panthers forward Jaromir Jagr, who reached the milestone in 763 contests.

Ovechkin also became the 24th-fastest player to reach the 1,000-point plateau, the first Capitals player, the 37th to do it with a single franchise, and the 84th player in NHL history.
