Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin scored goal No. 895 on Sunday, passing Hall of Famer Wayne Gretzky to become the NHL\'s all-time goal scoring leader.
Ovechkin, on a pass from longtime teammate Tom Wilson, netted the record breaker against the New York Islanders with a power-play goal past fellow Russian Ilya Sorokin with 12:34 left in the second period of Sunday\'s game -- the 1,487th game of his career, the same as Gretzky\'s career total.
