ARLINGTON, VA – The Washington Capitals announced today several initiatives across the Washington, D.C., region in honor of Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin becoming the NHL’s All-Time goals leader.

The Great Chase may be over, but the celebrations have just begun as the Washington Capitals have announced plans to honor Alexander Ovechkin.

For the majority of his career, Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin deemed Wayne Gretzky’s career goals mark impossible to beat. He even admitted it to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman in a 2016 interview.
