Morning Skate: Let’s keep talking about Alex Ovechkin’s 500th goal
Oh, and the Panthers won their 12th straight game. Ho hum.

Lace ‘em up. Time for the Morning Skate.
* * *
ANOTHER OVI MILESTONE: It says something about Alex Ovechkin’s scoring prowess that we don’t have to wait long for him to complete the approach while knocking down milestones. We knew he’d reach 500 goals this weekend, and he didn’t disappoint.
OVI PARENTS BEST: Ovechkin’s marker brought his parents to tears!
LET’S DEFINE OVI’S GREATNESS: These are the moments that made Ovechkin into the special player we know him as today. We wrote this when Ovi broke Sergei Fedorov’s record for Russian goals, but it still rings true after No. 500.
COUTS FOR SELKE: Don’t look now, but Sean Couturier is making a case for being one of the best defensive forwards in hockey.
DUCKS GET AWAY WITH ONE: The referees might have missed a super-sneaky Red Wings goal last night.
SURGING HAWKS: Chicago smoked Colorado to win their seventh straight game. The gap between the Blackhawks and the division-leading Stars is now just four points.
LAST LAUGH: Evander Kane and the Sabres got the win in Kane’s highly anticipated return to Winnipeg.
HOCKEY BALL SCORES:
Sabres 4, Jets 2
Capitals 7, Senators 1
Blackhawks 6, Avalanche 3
Devils 2, Wild 1
Red Wings 2, Ducks 1
Panthers 2, Oilers 1
MIDSEASON REVIEW: Die By The Blade says too many disappointments are keeping the Sabres from being a better team than last year.
GIVE CHEVY A BREAK: Maybe the Jets’ awful season isn’t totally their general manager’s fault.
OH YEAH: We’ve gone this far without talking about the Panthers winning their 12th straight game! I guess I’m just getting used to it by now.
HELLO WIN COLUMN: New Jersey finally snapped their losing streak on Sunday.
LINE CHANGE RESPONSIBLY: Vancouver lost this weekend because Daniel Sedin chose the wrong time to leave the ice.
BY THE POWER OF THE BEARD: Brent Burns’ goal on Saturday was just outstanding.
