Watch: Ovechkin's power-play snipe is No. 200 for his career

Another bullet leaping out of the chamber; the game's deadliest stationary sniper has his 200th kill on the power play.

Alex Ovechkin became just the 18th player in NHL history to record 200 power-play goals in his career, scoring with his vintage power release from inside the circle Sunday versus the Vancouver Canucks.

Barring an injury, Ovechkin projects to pass Mark Recchi, Steve Yzerman, Joe Sakic, and Wayne Gretzky at some point this season. He needs another 75 power-play goals to pass the all-time leader, Dave Andreychuk.

The goal also saw Ovechkin break out of a seven-game goalless funk.
