“What a day!”; Ovechkin told the crowd.

He then thanked his teammates, the Capitals organization, coaches, his family, the fans, and Sorokin for letting him get the record.

“It’s a team sport. Without my boys, I would never stand here, and obviously, I would never pass the Great One,”; he added. “We did it, boys, we did it.

“Thank you, Ilya Sorokin, for letting me score 895 ... and the last thing—to all of you fans, to all the world, Russia—we did it, boys, we did it. It’s history!”;
