CALGARY, Canada—With two goals Monday night in a 5–2, road victory over the Calgary Flames, Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin became just the third player in NHL history to score at least 20 goals in 19 consecutive seasons.

Ovechkin, 38, netted two power-play goals in the second period as Washington won its third consecutive game. He joined Gordie Howe (22 seasons) and Brendan Shanahan (19) as the only players to achieve the goal-scoring feat.
