Alex Ovechkin scored career goal No. 895 on Sunday, breaking one of sports’ all-time great records and passing hockey legend Wayne Gretzky as the NHL’s all-time goal scorer.
Ovechkin did so with a slap shot past New York Islanders goaltender Ilya Sorokin in a road game. The location on the road in New York didn’t matter. The crowd at UBS Arena was there on Sunday to witness history, and it erupted into raucous cheers for the goal that cut New York’s lead over Ovechkin’s Washington Capitals to 2-1.
