Wayne Gretzky's NHL record of 894 goals was once considered unbreakable. Then Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin broke it Sunday. "They say records are meant to be broken, but I'm not sure who's going to get more goals than that," Gretzky said during Sunday's on-ice ceremony.

On Sunday afternoon on Long Island, the Washington Capitals star broke Wayne Gretzky’s record to become the NHL’s all-time leading goal scorer with 895. It was a record that once felt out of reach, like most of Gretzky’s career marks.
