Alexander Ovechkin became the 20th player in NHL history to score 600 career goals with his shot past Connor Hellebuyck in the second period of Monday's game against the Jets. 

Ovechkin, who scored earlier in the game, reached the 600-goal milestone in 990 games played. Only three players achieved the feat in fewer games: Wayne Gretzky (718), Mario Lemieux (719) and Brett Hull (900).
