Alex Ovechkin recorded his first hat trick of the season and the 31st of his career, scoring three goals in the Capitals’ victory against the Golden Knights.
With 866 career goals, Ovechkin is now just 29 goals away from breaking Wayne Gretzky’s all-time NHL goal-scoring record, showcasing his legendary scoring prowess.
The hat trick marked Ovechkin’s first since December 2022 and made Vegas the 19th team against which he has scored at least three goals.
Ovechkin’s achievement places him among the all-time greats, with only three players having more road hat tricks than his current tally of 16.
