Alex Ovechkin tied Wayne Gretzky's NHL goals record by scoring the 894th of his career Friday night, setting off a wild celebration on the ice with his teammates and chants of "Ovi! Ovi!" by a crowd that included The Great One himself.

Even though Wayne Gretzky knew this moment was all but guaranteed for weeks now, that doesn't mean he had to feel good about Alex Ovechkin tying his all-time goals record on Friday night. The Great One was sitting with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and FBI director Kash Patel at Capital One Arena in Washington as Ovi scored his 894th career goal in a 5-3 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks.

Wayne Gretzky gave a brief interview after Alex Ovechkin tied his NHL goals record, which has stood since 1999.
