Ovechkin Sees Hat Trick, Closer to Breaking Wayne Gretzky's NHL Goals Record Record

Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin is 13 goals away from breaking Hall of Famer Wayne Gretzky's all-time NHL record after scoring his 32nd career hat trick on Sunday. Ovechkin needs 13 more goals to surpass Gretzky's record, which currently stands at 894 goals. The Russian star has been a dominant force in the league for nearly two decades, and a record-breaking achievement would cement his legacy as one of the greatest goal-scorers in NHL history.
