The Colorado Avalanche secured a victory over the Washington Capitals in a National Hockey League regular season game.
The contest concluded in overtime with a final score of 3-2.
For Colorado, the goals came from Gabriel Landeskog, Nicolas Roy, and Brock Nelson. Washington’s markers were credited to Justin Sourdif and Alexander Ovechkin.
That goal marked Ovechkin’s 1000th in the league, counting playoff games. He now stands as only the second player in history, following the iconic Wayne Gretzky, to reach this specific milestone.
Besides Gretzky (1016) and Ovechkin, the top ten goal-scorers of all time feature Gordie Howe (869), Brett Hull and Jaromir Jagr (both with 844), Mark Messier (803), Phil Esposito (778), Mario Lemieux (766), Steve Yzerman (762), and Marcel Dionne (752).
