Russian attacker “Washington” Alexander Ovechkin who made an assist today in the NHL regular season game against Colorado, repeated the Canadian’s feat Gordie Howe that no one has been able to repeat for more than half a century.
Howe was the only player in NHL history to score 20 points in the first 16 games of a season when he was over 39 years old. Ovechkin, who turned 39 on September 17, finished second.
This season, Alexander has 20 points: 10 goals and 10 assists. He is part of Washington’s top 3 scorers, just behind Connor McMichael with 25 points (8+17).
