Ovechkin scored two goals, one the game-winner, in Tuesday's 6-4 victory over the Flyers.
The future Hall of Famer's first tally in the first period gave him 30 goals on the season. The 40-year-old Ovechkin has an NHL-high 20 30-goal campaigns. He has heated up during Washington's push for a playoff spot while lighting the lamp seven times in the last seven games. He's one point shy of hitting 60 for the 19th time in his career.
