CAPITALS
Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin has tied Wayne Gretzky’s mark of 894 career goals and has six opportunities left this season to pass The Great One.
First up is Sunday afternoon at the New York Islanders. If he does it then, there would be some symmetry. Gretzky scored his final NHL goal in March 1999 against the Islanders. And Ovechkin and Gretzky will have played the same number of games, 1,487.
TNT will present an OviCast on its truTV broadcast. It will feature an isolated camera on Ovechkin in one box with record-breaking information below, alongside the traditional game feed in a second box with his game stats. ESPN will do the same on ESPN+ for its April 10, 12, 15 and 17 broadcasts.
Here’s a look at Ovechkin’s remaining 2024-25 schedule, how he fared against those teams, which games are on national television and how to stream:
