NHL Daily: Milestone Honor
Last night Ovechkin reached a big milestone in his career. In the Capitals game against the Penguins, Ovechkin notched his 1,000th career point and left the game with two points.
Ovechkin is an elite player who never puts forward anything less than excellent play. So far this season, Ovechkin has 21 goals and 14 assists in 41 games. There is still a lot of time left in the season for Ovi to keep producing and get his numbers up.
Even in a slow season Ovechkin is producing and achieving career milestones. The elite-level captain and NHL All-Star is destined for NHL history and legend status.
Ovechkin is planning to rally his team by leading them into the playoffs in hopes they can achieve what they couldn’t last season, the Stanley Cup.
