Wayne Gretzky honored two of the greatest goal scorers in NHL history Sunday aftenroon.
Yes, Gretzky was on hand as Alex Ovechkin broke his goal-scoring record of 894. But Gretzky also honored Mr. Hockey himself.
Gretzky wore a No. 9 red pin over the left side of his chest, the number of Gordie Howe.
Gretzky held the record for 31 years until Ovechkin scored his 895th career goal against the New York Islanders on a patented wrist shot in the second period on Long Island.
Gretzky broke Howe's 801 goals record March 23, 1994 against the Vancouver Canucks.
