On Saturday night against Columbus, Ovi scored against Daniil Tarasov, making him the 152nd goalie that he's scored on in his career, inching him closer to Gretzky's 156 goalies scored on (Jaromir Jagr has the all-time record, with 178 goalies). This got me wondering how quickly Ovi could possibly reach Gretzky (and eventually Jagr) and how many goalies were currently available to be scored on for the first time.
So, I went and gathered the information myself. Below is a list of all the goalies currently on NHL rosters (according to NHL.com as of December 6th) that have NOT surrendered a goal to Alex Ovechkin, aside from his current teammates Ilya Samsonov and Vitek Vanecek.
Most of these goalies are backups (particularly in the Western Conference who haven't had much of a chance to face him), really young goalies who haven't been in the league long, a couple vets who have managed to not play the Caps at all in their careers, and one longtime former teammate who also has yet to face the Caps. However, there is one BIG surprise on this list.
Current Goalies Alex Ovechkin has not scored a goal against:
Anthony Stolarz (ANA)
Karel Vejmelka (ARI)
Malcolm Subban (BUF)
Kevin Lankinen (CHI)
