Game Preview

Before the Washington Capitals headed into the Christmas break, Alex Ovechkin made history when he surpassed Gordie Howe for second on the NHL’s all-time goals list.

Ovechkin has a ways to go to catch all-time leader Wayne Gretzky, and the Capitals can now resume their focus on fueling their recent surge when they visit the red-hot New York Rangers on Tuesday night.

In a 4-1 win over the Winnipeg Jets on Friday, Ovechkin matched Howe with his 801st career goal in the final minutes of the first period. He then surpassed Howe by scoring his 802nd career goal into an empty net with one minute remaining after getting a pass from Evgeny Kuznetsov. Gretzky racked up 894 goals.
