WASHINGTON — Alex Ovechkin moved another step closer to breaking Wayne Gretzky's NHL career goals record by scoring on Marc-Andre Fleury again. The Washington Capitals captain scored his 871st goal by beating Fleury on a power play in the second period against Minnesota. Ovechkin has scored on Fleury 28 times in 47 games against him over the past two decades. That's by far the most of the 178 different goaltenders Ovechkin has scored on. Beating Fleury put the 39-year-old 24 back of passing Gretzky's mark that was once considered unapproachable.
