Ovechkin moves into 2nd on Russian all-time scoring list
Brace Hemmelgarn-USA TODAY Sports
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.
| Russian | Points | GP |
|---|---|---|
| Fedorov | 1179 | 1248 |
| Ovechkin | 1033 | 918 |
| Mogilny | 1032 | 990 |
| Alexei Kovalev | 1029 | 1316 |
| Pavel Datsyuk | 918 | 953 |
| Vyacheslav Kozlov | 853 | 1182 |
| Evgeni Malkin | 832 | 706 |
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.
