Ice hockey star Alexander Ovechkin scored three goals to lead the Washington Capitals to a 5-2 away win against the Golden Knights in Las Vegas on Sunday (local time).
It was the Russian's 31st career hat trick in the North American professional league. Ovechkin now has 866 NHL goals, just 29 shy of Wayne Gretzky's record of 894. It was also the 39-year-old's 176th match in which he scored more than once. Gretzky's record is 189.
With 13 goals this season, Ovechkin leads the league, together with Sam Reinhart (Florida Panthers) and Leon Draisaitl (Edmonton Oilers).
Meanwhile, New York Rangers goalie Jonathan Quick recorded the 62nd shutout of his career in a 2-0 win at the Seattle Kraken.
