Alex Ovechkin scored his 892nd career goal, just three shy of breaking Wayne Gretzky's all-time NHL record of 894 goals. The iconic moment took place during the Washington Capitals' match against the Carolina Hurricanes, where Ovechkin netted a power-play goal late in the second period. He has achieved impressive stats against the Hurricanes, with 53 goals in 92 games played against them. This season alone, Ovechkin has 39 goals, aiming for his 14th season with 40 or more goals, the most in league history. With only seven games remaining, he remains on pace to surpass Gretzky's record if he continues his scoring streak into the playoffs.
