Alex Ovechkin continues his legendary pursuit of Wayne Gretzky's NHL all-time goal record, notching his 892nd career goal during a recent game against the Carolina Hurricanes. Despite the Washington Capitals suffering a 5-1 defeat, Ovechkin's late second-period one-timer marked his 39th goal of the season, leaving him just three shy of Gretzky's iconic 894. The excitement around Ovechkin's chase has invigorated the Capitals, who have already clinched a playoff berth. With only seven games left in the regular season, anticipation builds as both Gretzky and NHL commissioner Gary Bettman express their support for Ovechkin's remarkable journey.
