Alex Ovechkin is a beast.

The Capitals captain scored his 50th goal on Tuesday, marking the sixth time he has reached that number.

He joins Mario Lemieux, Guy Lafleur, Marcel Dionne, Wayne Gretzky and Mike Bossy as the only players with 50 or more goals in a season six different times.

Ovechkin scored in the first period of the Capitals' game against the Carolina Hurricanes. His goal put Washington up 2-0, and the Capitals won 4-2.
