In this video grab, Washington Capitals' Alex Ovechkin holds the puck from his 895th career goal scored in the locker room after the NHL ice hockey match between New York Islanders and Washington Capitals at UBS Arena in Elmont, New York, the United States. Ovechkin became the best sniper in the history of the National Hockey League (NHL), surpassing Canadian Wayne Gretzky's legendary record for regular-season goals. On April 6, he brought his total goals in the championship to 895 pucks by scoring in the match against New York Islanders. Gretzky's previous all-time record of 894 pucks stood for 26 years and was considered nearly unattainable.
