Ovechkin sets Capitals record for goals in single postseason

Alex Ovechkin broke a club record that was always destined to be his.

With his go-ahead tally in the second period of Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final, Ovechkin set the Capitals' franchise record for most goals in a single postseason with 15, passing John Druce.

Druce's 14 goals miraculously came in just 15 games during a 1990 Capitals playoff run that saw them get swept by the Boston Bruins in the conference finals. Oddly enough, Druce only topped 14 goals in three seasons during his 531-game NHL career.

Ovechkin also joined some pretty elite company in the process, becoming the fifth player in the last 25 years to score 15 goals during a playoff run.

Ovechkin already has 12 assists to go along with his 15 goals as he continues to build his case for the Conn Smythe Trophy.
