Ovechkin becomes NHL's all-time Russian-born points leader

Alex Ovechkin didn't need much time to make history Tuesday night.

The Washington Capitals superstar passed Sergei Fedorov for most points by a Russian-born player when he earned an assist on T.J. Oshie's goal three minutes into the game against the Vancouver Canucks.

It was Ovechkin's 1,180th career point in his 1,055th game. Fedorov collected his 1,179 points in 1,248 contests.
