Passing Jaromir Jagr on the NHL’s career goals list was more than just any achievement for Alex Ovechkin.
Ovechkin, who scored his 767th career goal on Tuesday for third all-time and most among European players, received loud chants from Capitals fans after the milestone goal — much different than the boos he received from Calgary fans during a trip in Western Canada last week. But the 36-year-old star did admit the enjoyment of the milestone was hindered by his family being in Russia and not in Washington, D.C., to witness the goal in person.
