"Ovechkin scored the 919th goal of his career on a third-period power play, beating Seattle Kraken Philipp Grubauer. The 40-year-old winger was the beneficiary of a pinpoint passing play between Jakob Chychrun and Ryan Leonard, sweeping the puck into the yawning net at the far post. Ovechkin's goal, his 22nd of the season, made the score 3-1 Seattle with 17:30 remaining in regulation."
"The goal marked the fourth career goal Ovechkin scored on Grubauer since he's left DC. The German netminder previously spent six seasons with the Caps from 2012-13 through 2017-18, notably serving as Braden Holtby's backup as the team won its first Stanley Cup championship in 2018. Grubauer posted a record of 43-31-11 along with a 2.36 GAA and a .923 save percentage in 101 games for the Capitals."
"The goal marked Ovechkin's 330th career power-play goal - 56 more than second-place Dave Andreychuk who finished his career with 274. Ovechkin also passed Marcel Dionne (811) for the sixth-most road points in NHL history with the tally per Capitals PR. The point was the 1,668th point (919g, 749a) of Ovechkin's 1,545-game career - 10th most of all time."
