Alex Ovechkin shares insane stat with Boston Bruins legend

A pretty insane stat!

Washington Capitals captain Alexander Ovechkin scores a lot of goals, and to do that; he has to shoot the puck a lot.

Apparently, a Boston Bruins legend was the first to do what Ovie does now, though.

Longtime Bruins forward Phil Esposito was one of the best goal scorers of his time, and it turns out he liked to shoot the puck a lot too.
