The Great-8 stands alone as the greatest goal scorer in NHL history. Alex Ovechkin recorded his 895th career goal on Sunday in New York to move past Wayne Gretzky into sole possession atop the NHL’s all-time goal-scoring ledger. Ovechkin beat New York Islanders goalie Ilya Sorokin for the record-setting tally, before his Capitals teammates emptied their bench to celebrate with their captain. Ovechkin recorded his 895th goal in his 1487th career game.

Gretzky had been the NHL’s all-time goal-scoring leader since passing Gordie Howe on March 23, 1994.

Sebastian Korda didn’t grow up in the DMV, but the American No.4 has long had a soft spot for the Mubadala Citi DC Open. His father, Petr Korda, won the event in 1992. His coach, Radek Stepanek, won in 2011. When Korda was a teenager and his father was Stepanek’s coach, he’d often join them on their summer trips to Rock Creek Park. Korda would see his father’s name and Stepanek’s name on the awning of champions inside Stadium Court and imagine his name one day joining theirs.

Ten years after making his pro debut at his hometown tournament, Frances Tiafoe has never been closer to capturing an elusive DC title. Before a raucous late-night crowd on Stadium Court, Tiafoe made that official, reaching the semifinals with a 6-4, 7-6(3) triumph over World No.8 Andrey Rublev. Minutes after midnight, as a Rublev backhand sailed wide on Tiafoe’s first match point, the College Park native raised his arms, gave a sly smile towards his box and flexed.

Bernie! Thank you for the kind note. Very much enjoyed my 15 yrs @CapitalsRadio & building up the institutional knowledge. Always enjoyed chronicling #ALLCAPS historic milestones. From ownership down, a well-run organization. Should be a special spring @CapitalOneArena @Capitals
