Alex Ovechkin breaks NHL record Monday night
Alexander Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals is one of the best to ever play in the NHL, and his legend continued to grow Monday night.
With his team visiting the Carolina Hurricanes, Ovechkin broke an NHL record previously held by Hockey Hall of Famer Brett Hull. With his fifth goal of the 2022-23 season to put the Capitals up 2-1, Ovie made history:
