Alex Ovechkin scores his 900th NHL goal with the Washington Capitals
Alex Ovechkin scores his 900th NHL goal with the Washington Capitals

WASHINGTON (AP) — The NHL now has a 900-goal club. ... Charter member: Alex Ovechkin, of course.
The Washington star pushed his record total to a new level Wednesday night, scoring against Jordan Binnington of the St. Louis Blues to reach 900. The milestone came 2:39 into the second period of a 6-1 win.
“A couple days ago somebody ask me, ‘Do you think about (900)?’ Of course, it’s huge number, no one ever did it in NHL history and to be the first player to ever do it, it’s a special moment,” Ovechkin said. “It’s nice it’s over to get it in the homestand so the fans, my family can be here. It’s pretty cool.”
Ovechkin was lurking in the offensive zone and was at the bottom of the right circle when he backhanded Jakob Chychrun’s rebound past a sliding Binnington, who wasn’t able to recover in time. The bench cleared to celebrate the 40-year-old’s accomplishment, while Binnington tucked the milestone puck into his pants.

I don't follow sports so I didn't realize he was still playing. Good for him.
