WASHINGTON (AP) — Alex Ovechkin has tied Gordie Howe for second on the NHL career goals list. Ovechkin scored his 801st goal late in the first period of the Washington Capitals’ game against the Winnipeg Jets. Ovechkin ended a four-game drought to match Howe more than a week since becoming the third player to reach 800. Goal No. 802 will give him sole possession of second place and put him 92 away from tying Wayne Gretzky’s record that long seemed unapproachable.
