Last night we got to see history happen as Alexander Ovechkin scored his 801st goal to tie Gordie Howe and 802nd goal to pass him.
I am sure he didn't want to get his 802nd on an empty net, and you can see him try and pass it off, but his teammates were not allowing him not to score:
Even though the goal was against the Winnipeg Jets, the team still showed him a true sign of respect for his accomplishment after the game.
