Facts and Figures: Fleury ties Plante for eighth on all-time wins list

Marc-Andre Fleury tied Jacques Plante for eighth place on the
NHL all-time wins list
by making 33 saves for the Vegas Golden Knights in a 2-1 victory against the Calgary Flames at T-Mobile Arena on Wednesday.

Fleury tied Plante with his 437th victory, although his shutout streak ended at 200:41 when Flames defenseman Travis Hamonic scored at 11:54 of the second period. It's the
67th time in NHL history
that a goalie has had a shutout streak of at least 200 minutes. Twenty-six of those, including the record of 460:49 by Alec Connell of the Ottawa Senators from Jan. 28-Feb. 22, 1928, took place before the 1929-30 season, when the NHL changed its rules to allow forward passing in all three zones.
It was the fifth consecutive victory for the Golden Knights (37-26-5), who are third in the Pacific Division.

Ovechkin nears milestone, Capitals win fifth straight

Alex Ovechkin scored his NHL-leading 46th goal and had an assist to help the Washington Capitals defeat the Philadelphia Flyers 5-3 at Wells Fargo Center for their fifth consecutive victory. Washington (39-21-7) is 7-1-0 in its past eight games and moved ahead of the New York Islanders into first place in the Metropolitan Division.
Ovechkin is one point from becoming the 49th player in NHL history to reach 1,200; he has 1,199 (653 goals, 546 assists) in 1,069 games. The 33-year-old forward's 653 goals would be the second-most in NHL history by a player at the time of his 1,200th regular-season point, behind Brett Hull, who had 656. Pittsburgh Penguins center Sidney Crosby got his 1,200th NHL point Tuesday.
Ovechkin scored his 245th power-play goal, moving him within one of tying Phil Esposito (246) for
fifth all-time
(since 1933-34). Esposito (33 years, 45 days as of April 6, 1975) was the last player to lead the NHL in goals at age 33 or older, a feat that Ovechkin (33 years, 201 days as of April 6, 2019) also can accomplish this season.

Blues rally late to defeat Ducks

Robert Thomas scored the tying goal with 1:04 left in the third period and Alex Pietrangelo got the game-winner 12 seconds later to give the St. Louis Blues a 5-4 victory against the Anaheim Ducks at Honda Center.
The Blues (35-25-6) won in regulation after trailing in the final 1:30 of the third period for the first time since entering the NHL in 1967. St. Louis is the second team to accomplish that feat this season. The Minnesota Wild did it in a 3-2 win at the Winnipeg Jets on Feb. 26.

Pietrangelo scored his 22nd game-winning goal to tie Al MacInnis for the most among defensemen in Blues history. His 92 regular-season goals are second to MacInnis (127) for the most by a Blues defenseman.
Defensemen scored three game-winning goals Wednesday, marking the 11th four-game day in NHL history to feature at least three game-winning goals scored by defensemen. It's the first since Feb. 18, 2008, when defensemen Chris Chelios, Ed Jovanovski, Freddy Meyer and Mike Mottau scored all four game-winners.

Canucks rally past Maple Leafs

The Vancouver Canucks scored two goals in the third period before defenseman Alexander Edler's goal at 3:11 of overtime gave them a 3-2 win against the Toronto Maple Leafs at Rogers Arena. Vancouver is 10-1-0 in its past 11 home games against the Maple Leafs since Jan. 10, 2006. Edler scored his fourth regular-season overtime goal, all with Vancouver.
The Canucks rallied from down multiple goals in the third period to win a regular-season game for the 39th time since entering the NHL in 1970. The first time Vancouver did it was against Toronto on Jan. 16, 1973, when they were losing 4-2 entering the third but scored four unanswered goals for
a 6-4 victory
.
Forward Josh Leivo, who was traded by Toronto to Vancouver on Dec. 3, scored in his first game against his former team. He became the first former Maple Leafs player to score in his first regular-season game against Toronto since defenseman John-Michael Liles with the Carolina Hurricanes on Jan. 9, 2014.
