The 'Most career goals in the Stanley Cup Playoffs' quiz

Created on May 1, 2025 | Total tries: 92 | Average Score: 18.1 out of 35 (52%) | Quiz FAQ

Alexander Ovechkin had been relatively quiet for the Washington Capitals since his Game 1 game-winning goal in overtime, but got back on the score sheet just seconds into a Game 5 power play. The goal gave the Caps a 3-0 lead they wouldn't relinquish, clinching the series victory and a date with the Carolina Hurricanes in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Which brings us to today's quiz. Ovi's vintage slap-shot tied him for 12th all-time in playoff goals with Mario Lemieux at 76. With that being said, how many of the players 35 players in NHL history to rack up 60 or more goals all-time in the Stanley Cup Playoffs can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
