Washington Capitals left wing Alex Ovechkin notched his 717th career regular season goal in Monday's 6-0 win over Buffalo, tying Phil Esposito for sixth place on the NHL's all-time goal-scoring list. Ovi had a game-high six shots and found the back of the net 16:21 into the third period. He finished with a plus-three rating in 20:04 on the ice. The Capitals captain entered the contest at minus-nine, so he's had some trouble playing effective hockey in even-strength situations this season. Ovechkin has 11 goals for the year in 24 games, and he'll head into Tuesday's big clash with the Islanders on a three-game goal streak. Marcel Dionne (731) and Brett Hull (741) are the next targets for the Russian veteran on the all-time goals list.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
