The Capitals' captain scores two first-period goals against the Canucks to surpass Wayne Gretzky for the most goals on the road in NHL history with 403.
Amid Washington’s win at Rogers Arena, Washington’s decorated captain made history yet again, passing Wayne Gretzky for the most road goals in NHL history with 403. Ovechkin, who now has four goals in his past four games, is only nine goals away from passing Gordie Howe for second place on the all-time goals list.
Tuesday’s game marked the Capitals’ second game of a six-game road trip that takes them through Western Canada before closing the trip in Philadelphia next week. Washington has now won three of its last four games; its next game is Thursday in Seattle. “You look at a player like that, he plays hard no matter where he plays,” Capitals Coach Peter Laviolette said of Ovechkin. “I think over the course of time, what you appreciate is the fact that inside of the season not everyone feels good every night, not 100 percent healthy but yet through it all, no matter what, a bump or a bruise or a ding, through it all, he is out there playing at a high level.
