Alex Ovechkin honored by Wayne Gretzky, parents, and son for scoring 700 goals in touching pregame ceremony
Alex Ovechkin was honored in a pregame ceremony by the Washington Capitals after scoring his 700th career goal Saturday against the Devils.
Ovechkin left the Capitals bench after an introduction video aired on the jumbotron and joined his son Sergei, his wife Nastya (who’s expecting baby number two), Capitals majority owner Ted Leonsis, president Dick Patrick, and NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly who were already on the ice.
By the end of the ceremony, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house.
