Washington Capitals superstar Alex Ovechkin added another goal to his legendary tally on Sunday night, scoring No. 896 just after his wife, Nastasiya, posted her first public message since he broke Wayne Gretzky’s NHL all-time goals record one week earlier.

Ovechkin set the tone all over the ice in the Capitals' Game 1 win over the Canadiens — including notching a career first.

Ovechkin downplayed it as “a goal is a goal,” but the OT winner put an exclamation point on a vintage performance by the 39-year-old winger, who also led Washington with seven hits and scored on the power play late in the first period.
