Unaware of his own record-breaking goal, Alex Kovalev was delighted to make Sergei Gonchar's 1,000th game that much more memorable. Kovalev scored twice and added an assist, combining with Erik Karlsson for the fastest two goals in Ottawa history to lead the Senators past the Phoenix Coyotes 5-2 on Tuesday night.

His goal was still being announced when Kovalev made it 2-0 at 5:36, breaking a modern franchise record set 15 years earlier. "I don't usually think of those things," Kovalev said.
