The Buffalo Sabres are returning home to try and end a three-game overtime loss streak and will have to do it against arguably the greatest goal-scorer in NHL history. Last season, Alex Ovechkin broke Wayne Gretzky's record for most NHL goals in a career, which previously was 894.

While each goal by Ovechkin makes NHL history, the Capitals forward is one goal from a major milestone.
