Islanders goalie Ilya Sorokin had not given up a goal to Alex Ovechkin in the first three games he played against the Washington Capitals superstar. Ovechkin changed that Sunday when he scored his record-breaking 895th career goal — breaking a tie with Wayne Gretzky — in the second period of the Washington Capitals' 4-1 loss on Sunday.

Sorokin will be on the highlight reels forever now as the goalie who gave up the record-setter to his friend and fellow countryman.

Ovechkin scored the record breaker on the power-play with 12:34 remaining in the second period. He received a pass from Tom Wilson at the top of the left circle and fired past Sorokin for a goal that rewrote the history books. Ovechkin and Sorokin embraced on the ice when the game was paused for a ceremony.
