Alex Ovechkin scored his 895th career goal against the New York Islanders, breaking Wayne Gretzky's all-time NHL goals record. At 39, he remains focused on his ongoing career, stating that realization of the achievement will come later. Ovechkin credits his success to his family, friends, and team support. He plans to play through the 2025-26 season with the Washington Capitals, aiming to reach 900 career goals and 1,500 games played, showcasing a commitment to living in the moment rather than dwelling on past accomplishments.
"The realization of the record will come when I finish my career. Mine is still going on. But I see the excitement around me."
"I understand that thanks to my family, father, mother, wife, friends, team, I did it. I realize that I have a wonderful career when this drive passes."
