NHL bettors can also bet on the method of Ovechkin's record-setting goal, which could come on Sunday.

At Fanatics, you can bet that the goal will come while the Capitals are at even strength at -225 odds.

If Ovechkin breaks the record while the Capitals are on a power play, it will pay out at +155 odds.

The longest shot, naturally, is on Ovechkin's goal to come when the Capitals are shorthanded. That pays out at 60-1 odds.
