Alex Ovechkin tying Wayne Gretzky's all-time goals record was a great moment for hockey. The game he breaks the record will be even better, and tickets are being priced accordingly.
The Washington Capitals star is on the verge of breaking a record that has stood for two and a half decades after scoring two goals on Saturday, pushing his career total even with Gretzky's mark of 894. With six games remaining on the regular season schedule, he is widely expected to reach 895 in the next two weeks.
Ovechkin's first opportunity will be on the road Sunday against the New York Islanders at the UBS Arena.
