The goal came on the power play at the 7:26 mark of the second period against the New York Islanders. It was also his 42nd goal of the season.
After the goal, the whole Capitals team celebrated with Ovechkin. The game paused for a ceremony to honour the NHL record, with Gretzky, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman, and Ovechkin's family present.
