Alex Ovechkin scores 910th and 911th career goals on both Sharks goaltenders in Capitals' 7-1 win

"Alex Ovechkin just keeps on keepin' on. And by keepin' on, I mean scoring goals. The 40-year-old forward lit the lamp twice in the Washington Capitals' never-in-doubt, 7-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks, Wednesday. Ovi now has 911 career goals, which is also the number goaltenders want to call when they are facing Ovi because it's a goalsmergency. Alex Ovechkin career goal no. 910"

"Ovi's first tally of the night came 8:25 into the first period after some chaos in front of the net. After Sharks goaltender Yaroslav Askarov made an initial save on a Matt Roy shot, he watched helplessly as the puck bounced to Ovechkin camped out just outside the crease. Ovechkin pushed the puck past Askarov's outstretched right pad and sent it into the yawning net to give the Caps a 1-0 lead."

"Three goals later and with a new goalie in net for the Sharks, Alex Nedeljkovic, Ovechkin welcomed the former Penguins netminder to the game like only he can. After a Jakob Chychrun shot got blocked on a Capitals power play, Ryan Leonard sent an unselfish pass across the seam that found Ovechkin wide open in the left circle. He beat Nedeljkovic with a slap shot at 2:41 into the second period for career goal no. 911, giving the Capitals a 5-0 lead."
