Ovechkin extended his current point streak to four games with the performance, and over his last 10 contests he's racked up seven goals and 14 points. With one more tally, the future Hall of Famer will reach 40 goals for the 13th time in his career to set an NHL record -- breaking the tie he holds with Wayne Gretzky at 12.
