Just 20 goals short for the Great One's goal scoring record, Ovechkin stopped by the Oilers Hall of Fame to pay tribute to Wayne. He got a hold of Gretzky's game worn gloves and jersey, and showcased them before his game with the Oilers.
Would be really cool to see one of Gretzky's record get beat in my lifetime.
Fun Fact - Ovechkin is a memorabilia collector and even owns a stick given to him by Gretzky when Washington won the Stanley Cup in 2018.
