Yahoo.com - Although he ranks among the league's top scorers, All-Star Alex Ovechkin is in the midst of his first real career slump.

Ovechkin needed 136 games to record his first three-game scoring drought. Only Kent Nilsson (183) and Hall of Famer Mario Lemieux (735) had longer streaks from the start of their careers. [READ]
