(Caps Outsider)
Alex Ovechkin passed Gordie Howe for second all-time on the NHL’s career goal list on Friday, scoring goal number 802 on an empty net.
Earlier in the evening, he tied Howe. The goal, scored on an empty net, happened after he passed to Evgeny Kuznetsov, who didn’t want it and passed it back. The game was stopped with a minute left as they played a video from Howe’s son, Mark.
The Jets even lined up after the 4-1 Caps win to shake Ovi’s hand. This included former teammates Axel Jonsson Fjallby and Brendan Dillon.
