Ovechkin scored two goals Saturday in an 8-1 win over the Blues.
Ovechkin has eight goals in his past seven games to give him 863 in his career. That leaves him 31 shy of Wayne Gretzky's NHL record, a total Ovechkin could hit as soon as March. Ovechkin's first goal in the second period was the game-winner, and his second came on the power play early in the third frame. Ovechkin is roaring to Gretzky's record rather than limping toward it like last year. Enjoy the ride.
