Alex Ovechkin (Geoff Burke-Imagn Images)EDMONTON -- If you've seen one, you've seen them all.
Regardless of how many goals you've seen Alex Ovechkin score, it never gets less impressive. Unless, of course, you are an Edmonton Oilers goalie.
Although he hasn't scored on every Oilers goalie who has suited up for the Oil drop, he's scored on quite a few. During Sunday morning's game, the Sportsnet broadcast shared a graphic that displayed each one.
In no particular order:
- Stuart Skinner
- Cam Talbot
- Mikko Koskinen
- Nikolai Khabibulin
- Jeff Deslauriers
- Viktor Fasth
- Devan Dubnyk
- Jason Labarbera
- Dwayne Roloson
That is quite the list. It also shows just how prolific of a goal-scorer Ovechkin is. It doesn't matter if you are a great goaltender like Dwayne Roloson or Cam Talbot; Ovi will find a way to score on you.

But it doesn't stop there.
Ovechkin recorded his 27th, 28th, and 29th goals of the season in the second and third periods. He scored the third, fourth, and seventh goals of the game on Oilers goaltender Calvin Pickard.
So now you can add Pickard to the list. Ovechkin has scored on 10 different Oilers goalies.
The Washington Capitals forward is hell-bent on breaking Wayne Gretzky's goal record. At least these 10 goalies can say they contributed to an NHL record -- even if it wasn't voluntary.
