Last night Alex Ovechkin continued his career goal scoring chase in dramatic fashion. Not only did Ovechkin have a hat trick in last night's victory over the Chicago Blackhawks, his third goal of the night was career goal number eight hundred. What an accomplishment by Ovechkin. He is now one career goal behind Gordie Howe for second all-time.
As Ovechkin scored, he was mobbed and congratulated by his teammates on the ice. As hats rained from the United Center, the rest of his teammates skated from the bench to congratulate the super star winger. It was a joyous moment to see Ovechkin and his team celebrate such a remarkable achievement. Even the Chicago fans gave a round of applause to Ovechkin.
