Washington loses tonight, but Ovechkin with the only goal for them on the PP.

30 goals for him in 42 games.  Unless he hits a major wall or gets injured, he just might get the record this season.

11 more to tie, 12 to pass Gretzky with 23 games left.  He needs a goal every other game.

The coaches have been very judicious in managing the minutes he plays. He usually is in the range of 16-18 minutes.

I also haven't been paying attention to the West, but Edmonton is fading a bit.

Lost 4 in a row and 6 of the last 8....and the 2 wins in there were both in OT. They haven't won a game in regulation in 9 games.  22 goals allowed in the last 4 games.

Every team has ups and downs, but they need to get some better goaltending and/or play better defensively or they are going to be in a bit of trouble come playoff time.

The Coilers have need goaltending for ages. Looks good on them. I despise that team almost as much as TO.
