NHL star Alex Ovechkin has tied Wayne Gretzky for the most goals in the history of the National Hockey League. The captain of the Washington Capitals and All Star, is just one goal away from passing Gretzky this season. What Ovi has accomplished in his career is truly remarkable, he is arguably the greatest hockey player ever. The Gretzky record is one that many NHL fans believed would never be broken.
The two legends are currently knotted at 894 goals—with Ovechkin having his next opportunity on Sunday as the Caps head to the New York Islanders.
With Gretzky, Ovi’s family, and all Caps nation to witness ❤️
