December 16, 2006 - Fresh off the heels of arguably his standout performance of the 2006-07 season, a hat trick in a comeback against the division-leading Thrashers - youtu.be/OEgAUcxEpvs, the Great 8 would continue his hot streak the next night at home against the last-place Flyers. Ovechkin extended his point streak to seven games in the first period after a crushing hit on RJ Umberger to force a turnover that led to Dainius Zubrus' opening goal. After adding another assist on Alexander Semin's second goal of the night, Ovechkin got in the goals column off a classic young-Ovechkin end-to-end rush and shot through the defenseman. With the tally, Ovechkin was tied for the league lead in goals, a position he had never been in before, but one he would become accustomed to quickly as he would go on to lead the league in goals an NHL-record nine times.
