Are you ready for Ovechkin to break Gretzky's record? Here's how to watch today's Capitals vs. Islanders game.

Alex Ovechkin is one goal away from the NHL all-time goal scoring record. Tickets to watch the Capitals vs. the Islanders are available on major third-party sites.

Washington Capitals forward Alex Ovechkin had one clear shot at history on Friday night when the Chicago Blackhawks removed their goalie from the game and gave the Caps an empty-net situation. That put Ovechkin in position to score goal No. 895 to overtake Wayne Gretzky's 894 career goals for good, but the Russian winger passed.
