Tonight, in Washington, DC, excitement builds as Alex Ovechkin approaches a historic milestone in hockey. He is just one hat trick away from breaking Wayne Gretzky's long-standing NHL goals record of 894. Ovechkin, who has achieved this feat 32 times in his career, previously scored a hat trick against the Blackhawks in 2022. The Capitals are set to face off against Chicago, with Spencer Knight in goal for the Blackhawks and Charlie Lindgren starting for the Caps, amid a buzz of anticipation from fans.
A hat trick is three goals, and for most professional hockey players, that's a lot of goals to score in a single hockey game.
Ovechkin enters today's game against the Chicago Blackhawks a hat trick away from breaking Wayne Gretzky's NHL goals record of 894.
This will be Ryan Leonard's Capital One Arena Debut.
I have that excited feeling in my gut. Do you?
