Ovechkin reached that same number in just one fewer game than Gretzky, who also owns the NHL’s career assists record with 1,963. Ovechkin pulled into a tie with Gretzky with two goals in Friday’s 5-3 win over the Chicago Blackhawks. He and the Caps are due to return to Washington next Thursday against the Carolina in the event he’s still tied for the scoring record.
