“Of course it’s always good to hear landmarks and numbers like that. It’s great and as I always say, it’s so cool standing with names like that,” explained Ovechkin. “It’s fun. The boys are happy, the organization, very happy fans, my family. It’s a great moment,” the 36-year-old said after his double.
Ovechkin scored to make it 2:2 (34) and made the decision in the 59th minute with a goal in the empty net to make it 5:3. The veteran now has 36 goals in 56 games this season.
