Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin scored his 895th career goal to complete “THE GR8 CHASE” and surpass Wayne Gretzky for the most goals in NHL history, a record “The Great One” held since he registered his 802nd career goal on March 23, 1994.
“The Great 8” is the 10th player in the NHL’s 107-year history to claim the title as its all-time goals leader (outright or tied) – and just the fourth to own that distinction in the past 72 years, following Gretzky, Gordie Howe (Nov. 10, 1963 – March 23, 1994) and Maurice Richard (Nov. 8, 1952 – Nov. 10, 1963).

From an Avalanche fan, congrats Ovi!
Alexander the gr8t!
Never thought it would get beaten
Everyone wants a picture with Ovi's wife😉
Guys, can you tell me!? Why was NHL commissioner Gary Bettman booed by the stands in NY? Is he not doing his job well? I think it was the poet Ted Leonsis did not say words of support to Ovi after the record. In any other situation, he would have acted differently.
Congrats, OV. What an amazing accomplishment.🎉
Meh..
