Alex Ovechkin has broken Wayne Gretzky’s record for most goals in NHL history by scoring the 895th goal of his career on Sunday.
The Washington Capitals’ captain made history when he scored against the New York Islanders by beating fellow Russian Ilya Sorokin on a power play in the second period.
Just as they did after he scored No. 894 minutes earlier, teammates mobbed the 39-year-old Russian to celebrate the accomplishment, which replaced a record that had stood for 31 years.
