“Sandström was the 164th goalkeeper I scored against? It’s good” – Ovechkin on the 790th puck in the NHL

Washington Capitals Captain Alexander Ovechkin told how the team succeeded in convincing “Philadelphia Circulars” in an NHL regular season game.

The match ended with the victory of the Capitals in overtime with the score of 3:2. Ovechkin scored the winning goal. Flyers goaltender Felix Sandstrom has become the 164th NHL goaltender to be scored by a Russian.

– A goal in overtime? I just needed to hit the target. And I did. We just kept pushing. The team struggled, even though they were in a difficult position. It’s good that we didn’t give up. Sandstrom was the 164th goalkeeper I scored against? It’s good,” Ovechkin said, as quoted by TSN.

Ovechkin has 790 goals in 1295 games. He is 11 goals behind Gordie Howe, the NHL’s second all-time leading scorer.
