Alex Ovechkin Secures 2 Spot on NHL's All-Time Scoring List
On Friday night, Washington Capitals captain Alexander Ovechkin surpassed Gordie Howe (a.k.a. Mr. Hockey) on the NHL's all-time Goals leaderboard. Goals #801 and #802 not only helped the Capitals to a 4-1 win over Winnipeg, but it pulled Ovechkin within 92 goals of Wayne Gretzky's borderline unimaginable #894 goals.
After the game, the Jets all lined up handshake-style to congratulate Ovechkin for this incredible achievement. Class move from Winnipeg.
In passing Gordie Howe, Mark Howe - his son - had a message for Ovechkin, and it hit right in the feels. These are the moments that make our game so great:
The question now becomes: will Alex Ovechkin reach/pass Wayne Gretzky's all-time goal-scoring record?
