In the stands at at Capital One Arena on Friday night, FBI Director Kash Patel sat alongside Wayne Gretzky to watch Alex Ovechkin tie his NHL record.
Ovechkin scored the first goal of the game in the first period, and he appropriately tied Gretzky with a one-timer from his left dot office on the power play in the third period. That goal turned out to be the game-winner in a 5-3 Washington win over the Hawks.
