Alex Ovechkin’s 51 Goals In 2018-19 (HD)

Every Ovechkin Goal The summer of 2018 was eventful for Alex Ovechkin to say the least. In addition to partying with the Stanley Cup nonstop across two continents for three months, Ovechkin became a father when his son was born on August 18 (one day short of 8/19 unfortunately). However, there was no hangover for the Great 8 as he began right where he left off with 4 goals in his first 3 games. Fighting for the league lead in goals for the first two months, December turned out to be his best month, scoring back to back hat tricks for the second year in a row and going on a career-best 14-game point streak and scoring 29 goals through his first 32 games, the most through that many games in his career - not bad for a 33-year old.
