Despite making his NHL debut in 2005-06, Ovechkin leads all players in power-play points since 2003-04, goals since 2000-01, game-winning goals since 1999-00, shots since 1998-99, power-play goals since 1997-98, hat tricks since 1996-97 (16), multi-goal games since 1995-96 and overtime goals since 1993-94. In addition, he leads the League in points since 2005-06, ranks second in multi-point games and ranks fourth in hits (2,366) among forwards.
Ovechkin holds the Capitals single-season record in goals (2007-08: 65), power-play goals (2014-15: 25), power-play points (2005-06: 52), overtime goals (2010-11, 2013-14: 3) and shots (2008-09: 528).
