After 1,400 games and counting, Alex Ovechkin still doesn't break Alex Ovechkin, who has missed just 59 games in his nearly 20-year career, played in his 1,400th game for the Capitals on Saturday night.
FEBRUARY 25 • WASHINGTONPOST.COM
Streak ends in 1,400th NHL game Ovechkin played in his 1,400th NHL game Saturday and went without a point in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Panthers.
Impact His 10-game point streak ended in the loss, but he still had four shots and four hits. Ovechkin is the 41st player to hit that game plateau, and the 10th to do it with one team. He has 16 goals and 42 points in 53 games this season.

Point streak at 10 games, 14 points Ovechkin picked up an assist Thursday in a 5-3 win over Tampa Bay.
Impact The point extended his point streak to 10 games (14 points; eight goals, six assists). Ovechkin's goal pace has indeed dropped this season, but he does have 42 points in 52 games, and is helping his team in different ways than in seasons past.

First three-point game of season Ovechkin scored two goals and added a helper in Tuesday's 6-2 victory over the Devils.
Impact Ovechkin was held scoreless in the first two periods but he would not be denied. With the Capitals only up 2-1 heading into the final frame, he added a primary assist on Dylan Strome's lone goal and then added two more of his own, including a power-play marker with only 33 seconds left for his 16th of the season. Over the past nine games, Ovechkin has been an offensive juggernaut for the Capitals, tallying an impressive eight goals and five assists. This is an improvement for the 38-year sniper as he has struggled to score for much of the season.

Extends streak with power-play goal Ovechkin scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to Colorado.
Impact Ovechkin cut the Caps' deficit to 4-3 midway through the third period, beating Alexandar Georgiev with his signature slapshot on the power play. The 38-year-old Ovechkin now has goals in six straight games and points in his last seven contests, totaling six goals and three assists in that span. He's up to 14 goals, nine coming in his last 20 outings, and 37 points through 49 games this season.

Goal streak up to five games Ovechkin scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Canucks.
Impact Ovechkin's scored in five straight games, though his tally Sunday was more of a lucky bounce than a vintage laser. He's also gotten on the scoresheet in six straight contests, racking up five goals and three assists in that span. It's a welcome sight for fantasy managers who have waited for the 38-year-old to turn things around. He's up to 13 goals, 36 points, 167 shots on net, 82 hits and a minus-15 rating through 48 appearances.

Goal in fourth straight game Ovechkin scored a goal and added an assist Saturday in a 3-0 victory over Boston.
Impact It was his 57th NHL empty-net goal and that moved him past Wayne Gretzky for most in NHL history. Ovechkin has now scored a goal in four consecutive games (four goals, two assists), and his point streak stands at five games and seven points, including four goals. Ovie has 35 points in 47 games, but just 12 of those are goals. He's finding a way to contribute to his team's success, but there continues to be concerns that his best goal days are behind him.
FEBRUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE
Finally warming up Ovechkin scored a power-play goal in a 4-2 loss to Florida on Thursday.
Impact It was classic Ovie -- a power-play snipe from his office on the left circle. After a slow start, he has 13 points (five goals, eight assists) in his past 13 games. He has a goal in each of his last three games and five points on a four-game point streak. Ovechkin has 833 snipes on his march to try to move past Wayne Gretzky (894) on the all-time goal list.
