Alex Ovechkin is 29, and his hair is flecked with gray. His coaches and linemates keep changing, as have the methods opponents employ to try to stop him.
After 10 years in the NHL, one thing that stays the same about the guy known as 'The Great 8': He can still put the puck in the net.
Putting his name in the company of such past superstars as Wayne Gretzky, Guy Lafleur and Mario Lemieux, Ovechkin is now one of only six players with at least a half-dozen 50-goal seasons.
