Ovechkin moves into 2nd on Russian all-time scoring list

Alex Ovechkin is well on his way to becoming the highest-scoring Russian NHLer of all time.

With an assist Tuesday in Toronto, the Washington Capitals captain broke a tie with Alexander Mogilny for second in all-time points by a Russian. No. 8 now trails only Sergei Fedorov.

Ovechkin's already his country's most successful goal-scorer, having passed Fedorov in November 2015, and is the only Russian to hit the elusive 500-mark in the NHL.

The Maple Leafs have been victimized heavily by Ovechkin over the years. The 31-year-old now has 33 goals and 60 points in 42 games against the blue and white.
