At 9 & rsquo; 50 & rdquo; the first period of Sunday's game against the St. Louis Blues, Alexander Ovechkin scored the thirtieth goal of the season for the provisional balance of the Washington Capitals, followed 24 & nbsp; minutes after the thirtieth that throws it at the top of the ranking of the top-scorer seasonal. With these markings, the twenty-nine Russian first overall pick in 2004, enters the small circle of champions who have lined up since their debut ten seasons consecutive surpassing the 30 goals, an exclusive club that until recently only met Mike Bossy, Wayne Gretzky Jari Kurri and Mike Gartner. L & rsquo; elite scorers in the league history which you might & agrave; widen not before 2024 Since & eacute; the only players in business & agrave; to have passed the threshold of 30 in their rookie year, l & rsquo; rod that toppled the monument Jaromir Jagr, are Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Jeff Skinner who have all had at least one bad season that cuts them off.
Ovechkin to share 31 goals after 50 games and an average of 0.62 goals / game as Rick Nash (29 of 47) leads the field at the end of the season that will assign & agrave; to the best scorer Richard Trophy. For the Russian, who & egrave; gi & agrave; l & rsquo; only one to have put together four wins in the last 30 years, would be the fifth win and reach Charlie Conacher. Maurice Richard (to whose memory since 1998 & egrave; dedicated the trophy), Gretzky and Gordie Howe to a length from Phil Esposito and two from Bobby Hull (7 wins).
