Alex Ovechkin Scores His 900th NHL Goal With the Washington Capitals

Ovechkin scored his 900th NHL goal early in the second period against the St. Louis Blues, becoming the first player to reach this milestone in league history.

  • On Nov. 5, 2025, Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin scored his 900th career goal during the home game against the St. Louis Blues in game 1,504.
  • Needing three goals entering this season after breaking Wayne Gretzky's record with his 895th goal in April, Ovechkin's milestones have been fairly evenly spaced though slower from 800 to 900.
  • The milestone goal came 2:39 into the second period as Ovechkin backhanded Jakob Chychrun's rebound past sliding Jordan Binnington.
  • Teammates poured onto the ice to celebrate as Washington Capitals players mobbed Alex Ovechkin, while St. Louis Blues goalie Jordan Binnington tucked the milestone puck before linesman Michel Cormier retrieved it.
  • Ovechkin's career-long consistency and awards underscore his impact, having led the Washington Capitals to a Stanley Cup and won three MVPs while leading the league in goals nine times.
