2020-21 Vezina Trophy winner and longtime rival of Alex Ovechkin while with the Pittsburgh Penguins, Marc-Andre Fleury has conceded 27 goals to the Russian Machine in 46 games. This is more than Fleury has given up to any other player, with Jeff Carter’s 17 in 47 games second-best. This is also more than Ovechkin has scored against any other goaltender. Ovi has scored on Fleury against every team he has played for: 21 times against the Penguins, 3 times against the Golden Knights, 1 time against the Blackhawks, and 2 times against the Wild. The Great Eight’s first goal against the Flower was on January 25, 2006 and his most recent on March 19, 2023. 6 multi-goal games and 1 hat trick are among these performances.
Ovechkin’s goal haul against Fleury includes his 610th and 611th career goals to tie and pass Bobby Hull for 17th-most in NHL history on October 10, 2018.
