Ovechkin added to his total later in the period when he notched another goal.
Hunter scored 72 points in 100 playoff contests with Washington, while Ovechkin broke the record in only his 75th postseason game.
Despite the impressive feat, Ovechkin wasn't fazed:
When asked what he thought about breaking Dale Hunter's franchise playoff record for points, Ovechkin said: "I don't care."
