Alex Ovechkin scored his 767th goal to pass Jaromir Jagr for third on the NHL career list in the Capitals' 4-3 shootout victory over the Islanders on Tuesday night. Isles
All eyes were on Ovechkin and his attempt to break the tie with Jagr, whose rough tenure with the Capitals from 2001-04 made him unpopular among Washington fans. Ovechkin has had no such issues here, even after his country invaded Ukraine by order of President Vladimir Putin, whom Ovechkin has long supported.
"That is crazy," Barzal said of Ovechkin trailing only Gretzky and Howe."I don't know the exact number but over 700 goals in this league. He's a top-five, top-10 player of all time. Pretty cool every time you get a chance to go against him and see him close up." At 36, Ovechkin is three goals away from reaching 40 for the 12th time in his NHL career. That would tie Gretzky for the most 40-goal seasons in history.
" I get to the bench and I'm tired, I'm gassed and he's like: 'Come on, come on, come on. Let's go,'" Wilson recalled."I'm like, 'Holy smokes.' It draws you into the fight. It pushes you. It's contagious, for sure. You feel that. There's nothing better. It's such a cool thing to be a part of."
