With 11 shots (tying his third-highest single-game output of the season) in Sunday's 6-4 win over Atlanta, Alexander Ovechkin became the second player in NHL history to top 500 shots in a season. With 507 shots on the year, Ovechkin needs 43 more in the Caps' final three games to tie Phil Esposito's record of 550, which he set in 1970-'71. Esposito scored 76 goals that year, so Ovechkin better catch up. Slacker. [Capitals Outsider]
