Ovechkin’s 1,200 points ties him with former Washington Capital Dino Ciccarelli for 48th on the all-time list. Ovechkin will become the second player since 2005 to record 1,200 points (Sidney Crosby).

Alex Ovechkin and Evgeni Malkin are the fourth set of players in NHL history to each record 1,000 points after being drafted first and second overall in the same year. Malkin recorded his 1,000th point in tonight’s game.

Alex Ovechkin’s 653 goals is the second-most goals in NHL history by a player at the time of their 1,200th career point (653g, 547a), behind only Brett Hull (656g, 544a).
