Briefly

Alex Ovechkin celebrated scoring his 889th career goal in a game against the Winnipeg Jets. His goal tied the game late in the third period, bringing him closer to the NHL's all-time goals record. Ovechkin's joyful celebration included a smirk directed at former coach Scott Arniel. Arniel, who had worked with Ovechkin previously, remarked on Ovechkin's goal-scoring ability and playful nature.

End of the day, that's him. It doesn't take much. The puck is on his stick, off his stick... He doesn't need much time or space.
I'm glad he got the goal, in the sense, or getting closer to his goal. Excuse me, I'm not glad he got the goal. I'm glad he's getting close to whatever that (record-breaking) number is.
