Alex Ovechkin initiated a memorable moment on the ice in Minnesota even though he went scoreless for Washington in a 4-2 loss.
Marc-Andre Fleury is not in danger of giving up the goal that allows Alex Ovechkin to break the all-time goal record.
Right behind Fleury is Hall of Fame goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, who Ovechkin scored on 24 times. The pair only faced off in 42 games in the regular season, so Ovechkin was scoring against him at a high clip. Ovechkin has scored on 182 different goalies during his NHL career, as of April 3.
