“Ovechkin’s Historic Milestone: The Untold Moments Behind His Record-Breaking 895th Goal”
The goal capped what has been an incredible run by Ovechkin to get the record; scoring six times during a five-game goal streak.
“Every moment since the first day in training camp, we’re chasing a great moment in hockey,” Ovechkin said Friday “I didn’t put pressure on myself a lot, and I was enjoying this moment and I’m still enjoying it. It’s such a great moment for hockey.”
Gretzky was in attendance to watch Ovechkin break a record many used to think would never be touched. The 64-year-old had held the mark since scoring his 802nd goal to surpass the previous record of 801 held by Gordie Howe while playing for the Los Angeles Kings against the Vancouver Canucks at the Great Western Forum in Los Angeles on March 23, 1994.
