With 10 goals since his return to action on Dec. 28 and his recent streak, it's possible we could witness Alex Ovechkin make history in the coming months.

Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin is one of the most heralded players in NHL history. The legendary forward already has a ton of records on the NHL history books, but there's one more still to go that could put him in the pantheon of all-time greats.

Alex Ovechkin scored his 878th career goal into an empty net with 0.1 seconds left on the clock to move closer to Wayne Gretzky’s in Washington’s win over the Florida Panthers.
