Alex Ovechkin scored his 896th career goal just over a minute into the first period against Jet Greaves, marking their first matchup. This goal made Greaves the 184th goaltender Ovechkin has scored on in his 20 years in the NHL. Despite this goal, the Capitals faced losses over the weekend. Goaltender Greaves expressed his excitement, having grown up watching Ovechkin and praised him as the top goal-scorer. Greaves, who has largely played in the AHL, achieved strong performance metrics in recent games against the Capitals.
The goal marked Ovechkin's first against the 24-year-old netminder in their very first game against each other.
Greaves became goaltender number 184 that Ovechkin has scored on during his 20-season career, extending his NHL record.
I grew up watching him as a kid, and obviously, he's the best goal-scorer of all time.
Just trying to keep the puck out of the net as always.
