Alex Ovechkin scored his 886th career goal into an empty net to seal the Washington Capitals’ 4-2 victory over the Seattle Kraken, moving nine back of breaking Wayne Gretzky’s NHL record and helping the Eastern Conference leaders win their fourth game in a row.

Ovechkin picked up his 1,600 career point and the Capitals announced that he is now the 11th player in NHL history to reach that mark. "THE 11TH PLAYER IN NHL HISTORY TO RECORD 1,600 CAREER POINTS," the Capitals wrote on social media.

Hockey fans have their eyes trained on Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin every time he's on the ice and that's for good reason.
