Alexander Ovechkin scored a double in the NHL regular season match between Washington and Carolina. The Russian forward also set a unique achievement - he became the only player in the history of the league to score 850 goals for one team.

Ivan Fedotov made his first appearance in the starting lineup for Philadelphia in the game against Buffalo, but missed four times and did not save the team from its sixth defeat in a row. The Washington veteran's path to this achievement began on October 5, 2005, when he scored his first NHL goal against Columbus.
