151 Games Later Alex Ovechkin Finally Achieves Much-Awaited Stanley Cup Playoffs Milestone

Alex Ovechkin’s story this season has been about being in the right place at the right time. And the NHL all-time goals leader didn’t deviate from that when his team needed it the most during their first game of the Stanley Cup playoffs. A season in which The Gr8 achieved the biggest milestone of his NHL career, his 152nd playoff game, marked yet another achievement.

“Now he has that playoff, overtime goal. What else can he do?” the announcer literally screamed as the 39-year-old scored his first overtime goal in a playoff game. While the hockey icon had scored 72 goals over 150 games, the Capitals captain had never clinched a game for his team in overtime. Well, that changed today.
