Washington Capitals forward Alex Ovechkin didn't get closer to breaking Wayne Gretzky's all-time record on Thursday night, and his biggest moment came after the final horn. Following Washington’s 4–2 loss to the Minnesota Wild, the Capitals captain ran toward the tunnel and called his teammates back onto the ice to form a handshake line.

Ovechkin is five goals from breaking Wayne Gretzky’s record, but the captain’s team is in a funk that continued Sunday with an 8-5 loss to the scuffling Sabres.
