Taking a break from all things Colorado Avalanche, the weekend all the hockey world focused their attention on Alex Ovechkin’s pursuit of breaking Wayne Gretzky’s NHL goals record. And that he did with signature record-tying then breaking power play goals to make Ovi the NHL’s all-time goals leader.
First for number 894 there was the record-tying power play goal Ovechkin scored against Chicago. He could have gone for an empty netter in a hat trick but he stayed off the ice as Washington wrapped up the 5-3 win.
OVI TIES GRETZKY'S GOAL RECORD WITH NO.
