Alex Ovechkin has seemingly done it all in the NHL, yet sometimes he still accomplishes new things that seem hard to fathom.<\/p>\n

Ovechkin\u2019s latest feat came after he scored twice on the San Jose Sharks during the Washington Capitals\u2019 7-1 victory on December 3. The Capitals\u2019 captain didn\u2019t just score on just one Sharks goalie, he scored on both of them, beating Yaroslav Askarov 8:25 into the first period and Alex Nedeljkovic 2:41 into the second. <\/p>\n

During his 21 seasons in the NHL, Ovechkin has scored on both team\u2019s goalies in the same game 13 different times per NHL Stats. Yes, he helped chase one guy, then made the other guy want to leave too.<\/p>\n

These are all the instances. Goals against each goaltender are in parentheses.<\/p>\n

* Ovechkin also scored on an empty net<\/p>\n

Notably, the Capitals are 13-0-0 in these games.<\/p>\n

At age 40, Ovechkin has managed the feat twice in a span of two weeks after not doing so for four years. During his 13 times scoring against both goalies, he\u2019s notched hat tricks 8 different times. <\/p>\n

Only against the Canadiens on November 20, 2025, did Ovi manage to score on both goaltenders and an empty net, meaning even the goalie-less twine has not been safe.<\/p>\n

Former teammates have also felt Ovi\u2019s goal-scoring wrath during these big games as The Great 8 has scored on former Capitals Craig Anderson and Justin Peters on this list. Montreal and Ottawa made the list twice each.<\/p>\n

Only two players in NHL history have scored on both team\u2019s goaltenders in the same game more: Mario Lemieux (21) and Brett Hull (16).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alex Ovechkin has seemingly done it all in the NHL, yet sometimes he still accomplishes new things that…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":334650,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[385,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-334649","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-nhl","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334649","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=334649"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334649\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/334650"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=334649"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=334649"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=334649"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
