Alex Ovechkin scored his 500th goal Sunday night, becoming the 43rd player in NHL history to reach the milestone. Ovechkin reached the mark in vintage fashion, scoring from just beyond the left hash marks during a second-period power play to give the Washington Capitals a 5-1 lead over the Ottawa Senators.
