Now, The Las Vegas strip is home to another Ovechkin milestone that no one who witnessed it will soon forget.

After Wednesday’s game, he acknowledged that simply walking into the building gives him a boost. “There’s no question the guys have played really hard (since the meeting), led by Alex and John (Carlson),” Caps head coach Peter Laviolette said. (Bossy, who died Friday after a battle with lung cancer, did it with the New York Islanders.) This season, Ovechkin has been making history seemingly on a nightly basis, having already leapfrogged Marcel Dionne, Brett Hull and Jaromir Jagr on the all-time goals list and passed Dave Andreychuk for the most power-play goals in league history. No. 50 was even more of a no-doubter. Golden Knights goalie Logan Thompson, who had come on in relief of starter Robin Lehner, never had a chance. He’s so dangerous, and as soon as they got behind by one he started really looking for those openings behind us, and he found it a couple times.” Ovechkin was the most dangerous player on the ice all night and it wasn’t really close. “Obviously, it’s pretty good company,” Ovechkin said of joining Bossy and Gretzky. “I’m pretty happy. “He’s going to be in the Hall of Fame, and maybe he’ll break the record for the most goals ever. Honestly, it’s an honor to play against him and try to shut him down. “It was pretty cool,” the Capitals’ captain said with a smile.

And he found it a couple of times. “Yeah, it’s pretty cool,” said Ovechkin, who continues his pursuit of Wayne Gretzky for the all-time lead in goals scored and now has 780. Ovechkin might’ve had a hat trick had linemate Evgeny Kuznetsov not interfered with a shot that made it 1-0 early in the game. And as soon as they got behind by one, he started really looking for those openings behind us. “How good is Ovechkin? It’s unbelievable,” said Vegas coach Peter DeBoer. “Two tonight and he could’ve had another two. Ovechkin, 36, continued his ascension up the NHL’s all-time scoring charts.

With the performance Wednesday night, Ovechkin now has 90 points on the season — 50 goals and 40 assists. While the season has been Ovechkin’s best in quite some time, it hasn’t all been easy. The last time the Russian superstar tallied 90-plus points in a year was 2009-10, the third straight year he had accomplished that feat and his age-24 season. He started the season blistering hot, scoring like his peak and assisting at a career-best rate. His 50th career goal came later in the third period to tie the game. While Ovechkin’s second goal was the more significant milestone, he set another record with his first tally.

Psst... Alex Ovechkin a décliné une punition hier soir - Balle Courbe (Balle Courbe)

Alex Ovechkin, quel gentleman. Après un léger contact, il a usé de son influence pour faire annuler la pénalité aux Knights appelée par l'arbitre.

Devant le filet, Robin Lehner a bien amorcé la rencontre en repoussant 12 des 13 tirs dirigés vers lui. Interrogé sur la question, Peter DeBoer a baragouiné une réponse en mentionnant les mots « changer le momentum » et autre chose de vague. Tout d’abord, un mot sur la production d’Ovi. En touchant la cible deux fois, le franc-tireur russe a atteint le plateau des 50 buts pour la neuvième fois en carrière.

It’s big number and it’s going to be in history for my whole life,” Ovechkin said.

With two goals, including a slap shot past Golden Knights goalie Logan Thompson in the third period of Washington’s 4-3 overtime loss in Las Vegas on Wednesday, the Capitals’ captain reached 50 goals in a season for a record-tying ninth time.

The puck rolled over Ovechkin’s stick and he was unable to muster a shot on net. Ovechkin fondly remembered meeting Bossy a few times, remembering the fact that “He was always smiling, he always had a good mood and it’s a sad day for the whole world. The Capitals will finish off this road trip in Phoenix on Friday before returning home to face the Maple Leafs and Islanders. Washington was down 3-2 with about 12 minutes remaining in the third period, when Ovechkin found himself alone on a breakaway, facing Vegas goalie Logan Thompson. It’s one of the nights [when you have] a good feeling.” More immediately, though, was the history Ovechkin made as he scored twice to snag his ninth 50-goal season.

Alexander Ovechkin est le roi de la LNH et il l'a prouvé une fois de plus contre les Golden Knights.

D'ailleurs, il a rejoint, le même soir, Wayne Gretzky et le défunt Mike Bossy pour le plus grand nombre de saisons avec plus de 50 buts. Certains diront que c’est un acte de gentleman de la part d'Ovechkin, mais de notre côté on trouve ça vraiment badass qu’il puisse contrôler les décisions d’un arbitre comme il l’a fait. L’arbitre lève immédiatement le bras pour signaler la pénalité, le jeu s’arrête au moment où un joueur des Golden Knights touche la rondelle, mais Alexander Ovechkin fait signe aux arbitres de laisser tomber la pénalité.
