He's done it. Alex Ovechkin has broke the legendary Wayne Gretzky record.

Scoring his 895th goal midway through Washington's game against the Islanders, causing the game to stop midway through the second period, Ovechkin slid on the ice, emperor penguin style, to celebrate achieving the remarkable feat.

Cooley may be the most likely player to break Ovechkin's record simply because he is the youngest player on Utah's roster.

As Utah's ...
