He\u2019s signed for three more years after this season in hopes of surpassing 894 goals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe scores in bunches more than anyone ever, and that\u2019s probably why he is where he is right now,\u201d Washington defenseman John Carlson said. \u201cThis history, the people (he\u2019s passing), you\u2019re like, holy smokes, you get to play with a guy for 13 years that is beating these guys in the history books. It\u2019s pretty cool stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ovechkin\u2019s 801st goal was his 52nd \u2014 the most of any opponent \u2014 in 71 games against the Jets\/Atlanta Thrashers franchise. He also scored his 600th goal at home against Winnipeg.<\/p>\n<p>Jets associate coach Scott Arniel, who spent the previous four seasons as a Capitals, assistant, said he learned quickly that Ovechkin \u201cdoesn\u2019t stop.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s such a driven guy when he goes out to play,\u201d Arniel said. \u201c(He is not) just a slap shot, one-timer guy standing on the side on the power play. I saw all the goals he scored standing in front of the net. Even the hat trick he got in Chicago, all three were right there. He\u2019s done a lot of that as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ovechkin scored in his first game facing David Rittich, who became the 166th NHL goaltender he has beaten for a goal during his 18-year career. Only Jaromir Jagr at 178 and Patrick Marleau at 177 have scored against more goalies.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
