Alex Ovechkin ties Wayne Gretzky's NHL career goals record with No. 894

Alex Ovechkin has tied Wayne Gretzky's NHL goals record by scoring the 894th of his career.

Ovechkin scored his second goal of the Washington Capitals' game Friday night against the Chicago Blackhawks on the power play with 13:46 left in the third period. And he did so with Gretzky in attendance for the first time during this chase.

Earlier, he got his 893rd to move one away from tying and two from breaking Gretzky's mark that long seemed unapproachable. The 39-year-old Russian superstar is now one away from breaking it with four minutes to go in the game and six left to play this season.
