Washington Capitals superstar Alex Ovechkin joined the NHL's 500 goal club, becoming the first Russian-born player to reach the milestone. Ovechkin's 500th NHL goal came on a powerplay against the Ottawa Senators on Sunday with 3:41 left in the second period, and he added his 501st in the third to wrap up the Capitals' 7-1 victory.
