Alex Ovechkin firmly cemented his name among the greatest to ever play the sport with his first-ever Stanley Cup and Conn Smythe Trophy wins on Thursday.
In adding those two pieces of hardware to his trophy case, Ovechkin joins Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, and Bobby Orr as the only players in NHL history to win three Hart Trophies (regular-season MVP) and a Conn Smythe.
With a goal in Game 5, Ovechkin now has 117 playoff points to go along with 1,122 during his career in the regular season.
