The greatest single goal-scoring season of the last quarter-century. Upping his goal production by an incredible 19 tallies from the year before, Ovi lit the lamp 65 times in 2007-08, breaking the left wing goal scoring record held by Luc Robitaille (63 in 92-93). He also broke the Caps' record originally held by Dennis Maruk (60 in 81-82). Ovechkin's 65 goals rank as the 23rd highest single season goal total in NHL history. He became the 1st 60-goal scorer since Lemieux (69) and Jagr (62) both hit the mark in 95-96. In fact, the total is also the highest of any season outside of 1970-96, when goal scoring rates were much higher. Maybe even more incredible, he had a 7-game goal-less streak (Feb. 15-29), meaning that all 65 of his goals were scored in just 75 games (0.86 per game, a 71-goal pace). Ovi added 47 assists for a career-high 112 points, winning his 1st Art Ross Trophy. He won his 1st of 3 Hart Trophies, and his 1st of 3 straight Lester B. Pearson/Ted Lindsay Awards. Of course he handily won his 1st of 6 Rocket Richard Trophies, leading 2nd place Ilya Kovalchuk by a whopping 13 goals. He became the 1st player in NHL history to win all 4 in the same season.
