January 16, 2020 - Of all the surefire ways to get Alex Ovechkin to score on you, making him bleed may be at the top of that list. Most famously done by the Canadiens in what many consider Ovechkin's best game ever (youtube.com/watch?v=MBx2l4ZueiY), some of his finest outings have come after the opponent fouled him earlier in the game. After a high stick by Miles Wood went uncalled, the Great 8 took out his frustration on the scoresheet, recording his 25th career hat trick. Scoring his 30th goal of the season in the process, he tied Mike Gartner and Jaromir Jagr for the most consecutive 30-goal seasons in NHL history with his 15th in a row. The three goals also moved him within one goal of Mario Lemieux and the top 10 all-time in career goals, a milestone he would pass with another hat trick in the very next game (youtube.com/watch?v=XZEwtOl4w4U).
