Kuznetsov marvels at Ovechkin's milestone: 'Holy f--- that's a lot of goals'

Warning: Story contains coarse language

Washington Capitals forward Evgeny Kuznetsov, linemate of superstar Alex Ovechkin, paid witness to history.

That is, Ovechkin's 600th career goal, scored Monday versus the Winnipeg Jets.

"It's huge. When you look at those numbers, you don't even think it's 599, 600," Kuznetsov told Isabelle Khurshudyan of the Washington Post. "But then when you understand, holy f--- that's a lot of goals."

Not only was Kuznetsov on the ice for the play, he also chipped in on the action, picking up an assist on Ovechkin's tally.

"That's a free meal for me, for sure," Kuznetsov quipped.

Ovechkin is the 20th player in NHL history to score 600 goals.
