Alex Ovechkin scored the 895th goal of his NHL career on Wednesday night as the Washington Capitals beat the New York Rangers in overtime 3–2. Ovechkin scored the game-tying goal midway through the third period and in the process, moved within 10 goals of passing Wayne Gretzky on the league's all-time scoring list.
The Capitals celebrated by posting the video along with the caption "one trick pony scores his 885th career goal and records his 1,599th career point." This was a reference to what announcer Darren Pang said on the broadcast during the first period.
