Alex Ovechkin scored his 880th, 881st and 882nd career goals to record a hat trick and move 13 goals away from breaking Wayne Gretzky's NHL record, giving the Washington Capitals an easy 7-3 victory over Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday.

Connor McDavid’s Edmonton Oilers experienced three consecutive losses in the NHL 2024-2025 season, despite McDavid's individual success at the 4 Nations Face-Off 2025. The team fell to the Philadelphia Flyers and twice to the Washington Capitals.

Alex Ovechkin's pursuit of Wayne Gretzky's all-time NHL goals got a massive boost on Sunday, with the Washington Capitals star scoring not just one, not two, but three goals in a 7-3 win at the Capital One Arena in Washington over the Edmonton Oilers.

The Edmonton Oilers were without captain Connor McDavid when they hit the ice Monday in Tampa Bay. McDavid’s absence was likely due to him resting, Oilers TV’s Tony Brar posted on social media.

They were bad. Against a big, heavy team that likes to lean on its opponents, the Oilers should have been able to rely on a speed and transition game, but none of that was there. They were smaller and slower, which always means a loss.

Fans understandably had various reactions on social media, from patriotic takes to typical rivalry banter. Among the reactions involved Justin Trudeau, the 23rd Prime Minister of Canada, who has been in deep tensions with the U.S. since President Trump took office.
