Ovechkin tallied three goals and added nine shots during Sunday's 7-3 win over the Oilers.

Ovechkin made Oilers goaltender Calvin Pickard the 181st NHL goalie he has scored on, and the empty-net goal in the third period brings the "Great 8" to within 13 goals of Wayne Gretzky for the all-time record. It also made Ovechkin the first player in NHL history to record at least 200 goals in three different decades. The 39-year-old has been absolutely dazzling in his 20th NHL season with 29 goals and 46 points in 41 games despite missing over a month of action due to a broken leg. Age is clearly just a number for the Capitals captain, so fantasy managers should keep rolling Ovechkin out regularly as he continues the chase for history.
