Athletistic/Hockey. Russian “Washington Capitals” forward Alexander Ovechkin, after scoring a brace in a home game today against the “Winnipeg Jets”, came out in second place on the list of top scorers in the NHL. Washington Capitals head coach Peter Laviolette commented on Ovechkin’s achievement.

“I don’t want to say it’s once in a lifetime, but those moments are rare in hockey and you pause the game to celebrate such a special achievement. What he’s been able to accomplish here in Washington is incredible,” said said Peter Laviolette.

Ovechkin, after scoring the 802nd puck, rounded Canadian hockey player Gordie Howe. The record holder for this indicator is Wayne Gretzky, who has 894 goals.
