Alex Ovechkin pulls to nine goals away from breaking Wayne Gretzky's all-time record

Alex Ovechkin netted an empty netter against the Seattle Kraken for his 886th career goal and 1600th NHL point.

The 39-year-old's 33rd goal of the season was also the 1,600th point of his two-decade career. Ovechkin remains on pace to pass Gretzky's mark of 894 that long seemed unapproachable before the end of this season.
