"Alex Ovechkin just made history against the St. Louis Blues, and in incredible fashion. Ovechkin beat Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington to score his 900th career goal, becoming the first player in NHL history to reach the mark. Ovechkin did so in his 1,504th game played. Ovechkin found paydirt after burying a juicy rebound given up by Binnington. At almost no angle, Ovechkin turned and fired a no-look backhanded chop shot at the net that went in."
"The entire Capitals bench emptied and congratulated Ovechkin on the ice. The tally came at 2:39 of the second period to put the Capitals up 2-0. The goal marked Ovechkin's third goal in 13 games this season. The Capitals posted a tribute video for Ovechkin during the next TV timeout. The Capitals captain received a standing ovation from the crowd and received chants of "Ovi.""
