Alex Ovechkin accomplished a bit of history on Kevin Shattenkirk’s first goal as a Capital.

Ovechkin’s secondary assist on the power-play tally gave him 1,033 career points. That point leap-frogs Ovechkin past Alexander Mogilny for second place on the all-time points list among Russian born players.

Shattenkirk and Ovechkin performed a switch on the power-play which led to the goal.

Ovechkin now trails childhood hero Sergei Fedorov by 146 points for first place.

Ovechkin already owns the record for the most goals by a Russian born player (484), passing Fedorov on November 19, 2015.

Career Goal No. 484 @ovi8 is now the leading Russian goal scorer in @NHL history. https://t.co/WRwpm99nwv — NHL (@NHL) November 20, 2015
