Alex Ovechkin scores goal No. 767, passes Jagr for third all-time in NHL history
Washington Capitals superstar Alex Ovechkin has officially moved ahead of another NHL legend and has just two more to catch.
Watch that milestone goal in the video above.
With his goal on Tuesday against the Islanders, Ovechkin scored the 767th goal of his NHL career, officially moving him into sole possession of third place on the NHL’s all-time goal scoring list. That goal moves him ahead of Jaromir Jagr, who he tied a week ago with a pair of goals against the Calgary Flames.
Jagr congratulated Ovechkin for scoring goal 767 to stand alone at third-place all-time. Being that Jagr keeps trucking along, he also provided a playful (?) warning to encourage Ovechkin to score more goals:
A very special congratulations from Jaromir Jagr to Alex Ovechkin (plus a little surprise at the end).
