During the regular season, Washington Capitals star Alexander Ovechkin made history when he became the NHL's all-time leading goal-scorer, surpassing the legendary Wayne Gretzky during an April 6 loss to the New York Islanders.

Ovechkin downplayed it as “a goal is a goal,” but the OT winner put an exclamation point on a vintage performance by the 39-year-old winger, who also led Washington with seven hits and scored on the power play late in the first period.
