NHL exec Colin Campbell says the league is prepared for anything as far as validating goal No. 895, but, "Just please, please, no reviews."

Alex Ovechkin is on the verge of breaking Wayne Gretzky’s all-time NHL goal record, needing just eight more goals. NHL and league executives are keenly observing the historic chase, preparing to celebrate the milestone.

Washington (42-14-8), which has won four in a row, is tied with the Winnipeg Jets for first in the NHL with 92 points. Selanne believes Ovechkin’s record chase is fueling the Capitals, and their success as a team is helping him as well.
