Alex Ovechkin, whose remarkable consistency since having entered the NHL is chronicled here, added to that elite level of consistency with being named as a first-team all-star for the second year in a row.
He is the first player to be named a first-team all-star in each of his first two years in more than half a century. The last? Terry Sawchuk, goaltender for the Detroit Red Wings, in 1950-51 and 1951-52. Since the first NHL all-star team was named after the 1930-31 season, no skater had accomplished the feat.
Congratulations, Alex.
