November 26, 2021 - Early in his age 36 season, Alex Ovechkin was on fire. With 31 points in 20 games, it was not just the best start of his career, but the best start in Capitals franchise history. Against the NHL-leading Florida Panthers, Ovechkin continued his roll with his first hat trick of the season. With the first of his three goals coming on the power play, the Great 8 moved one goal shy of tying Dave Andreychuk for the most in NHL history (274).
