Alexander Ovechkin picked up the Rocket Richard and Art Ross trophies yesterday as leading goal scorer and leading point-getter in the NHL this season. It is only the second time the same player has won both awards.

Ovechkin admitted to being a little envious of his age-mate, Sidney Crosby, who is playing in the Stanley Cup final for the first time.

"I'm a little jealous," said Ovechkin, who played in the playoffs for the first time this season. "His first time in playoffs, he lost in the first round. Who knows next year?"
