Alex Ovechkin had himself a night.
With his third-period goal on Monday, Ovechkin tied Maurice "Rocket" Richard - in Montreal, no less - for 29th on the all-time list at 544.
It was Ovechkin's third point of the night, and he's now one shy of 1,000 for his illustrious career.
The Capitals won 4-1, their sixth straight victory
