5 – Number of goals by which Alex Ovechkin won his seventh Richard Trophy as the League’s top goal-scorer, with Ovechkin’s 49 tallies a solid 11.4% more than Patrik Laine’s second-place 44. This marks the sixth time he has finished with more than ten percent more goals than the runner-up (two years ago’s 50-46 win was Ovechkin’s narrowest, percentage-wise, at “just” 8.7%; and, since you’re curious, his 65-52 win in 2007-08 was his biggest blowout in both raw goals scored and percentage).
Since entering the League, Ovechkin has scored nearly 50 percent more regular-season goals than any other player – 607 to Sidney Crosby’s second-place 411, giving Ovi 47.7% more than Sid.
