Alexander Ovečkin sa stal tretím hokejistom histórie, ktorý sa dostal na métu 800 strelených gólov v NHL.
Ruský útočník zahviezdil hetrikom pri nočnom triumfe Washingtonu Capitals nad Chicagom Blackhawks v pomere 7:3. V United Center mu tlieskali aj fanúšikovia súpera.
37-ročný Moskovčan stráca na druhého najlepšieho strelca všetkých čias Gordieho Howea už iba jeden presný zásah. Na tento počin potreboval Ovečkin 18 sezón a 1305 odohratých duelov.
