The Capitals legend now sits atop the all-time goal-scoring list. But with five games left in the season and another year remaining on his contract, Ovechkin can ratchet that total higher.

For now, Washington remains focused on clinching the Metropolitan Division and President&#8217;s Trophy before setting its sights on another Stanley Cup. 
The Capitals are currently listed at +1100 to claim this year&#8217;s championship, the sixth-best odds on the board.
