The NHL’s all-time leading goal scorer Alex Ovechkin is off to a slow start this season, posting only five shots on goal through the first two games and has tallied just one assist. Ovechkin, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2004 NHL Draft, is now in his 21st season with the Caps and is three goals away from becoming the first 900-goal scorer in league history. Last season Ovi netted 44 goals, marking the 14th time he had scored 40 or more in a season, as he surpassed Wayne Gretzky to become the league’s all-time leader in goals.

Rangers defenseman Adam Fox is tied for third in the NHL with his team-leading three goals this season after a masterful performance in Saturday night’s win over Pittsburgh. He scored a goal on the power play and contributed an assist on a first period short handed goal by Mika Zibanejad to open the scoring in the 6-1 victory.
