Alex Ovechkin did it.
The 39-year-old Washington Capitals star scored his 895th career goal on Sunday to break Wayne Gretzky's record and become the NHL's all-time goal scoring leader.
The historic goal came in the second period against the New York Islanders when he buried a wrister from the top of the left face-off circle.
He had a priceless reaction after the puck hit the buck of the net:
HE DID IT, HE DID IT ‼️
