This might be the day for the Caps as Alex Ovechkin is on the verge of breaking Wayne Gretzky's all-time scoring record of 894 goals. One goal does the trick; would Washington dare lose such a game? TNT is making sure to have its cameras at UBS Arena, and we saw the sort of emotion Ovechkin's goals could have on Washington when rallying for a 5-3 win over the Blackhawks on Friday as Ovie pulled even with Gretzky. The Caps are also close to clinching home ice thru the East playoffs and neck-and-neck with Winnipeg for the President's Trophy, so no easing up, at least not yet. The Islanders did snap a long skid against the punchless Wild on Friday but six losses previous had all but scotched their playoff hopes, and no telling the mood in the clubhouse after Patrick Roy's recent public blasting of Anthony Duclair, who has since stepped away from the team.
