Alex Ovechkin Draws Closer To Goal Record

[RealGM Wiretap]

Alex Ovechkin is just 21 goals shy of tying Wayne Gretzky\'s hallowed career record after scoring in the Washington Capitals\' 4-1 win over the Nashville Predators on Saturday night.

Ovechkin blocked a shot and went the length of the ice with 58 seconds left to set up his No. 873 career goal, an empty-netter to seal the win. He added an assist in the game as well.

Not a fan of the sport, but this is pretty neat. I imagine he plays another year and gets it if he stays healthy.
