It is going to be such a special night that Caps owner Ted Leonsis will be on the ice during the pregame ceremony to help honor the Russian legend. Ovechkin will also be receiving some sort of gift from the organization for his impact.

Ovechkin is also now the highest European goal scorer in NHL history, and trails only Gordie Howe (801) and Wayne Gretzky (894) for the most goals all-time.
