Alex Ovechkin: It feels like the same story is written every season. Ovechkin has a slow start to the season. People question if this is the year he finally slows down. Then he goes on a tear.

Ovechkin record a hat trick on Thursday, scoring goals eight, nine, and 10 on the season. He had three goals in the first 15 games this year. He’s got seven in the last six. What a legend.

He’s truly an ageless wonder. And at 905 goals, it’s hard to guess when he’ll slow down.
