FBI Director Kash Patel sat alongside the great Wayne Gretzky at Capital One Arena on Friday night where the pair, joined by NHL commissioner Gary Bettman, witnessed a historic night in hockey history.
Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin scored the 894th goal of his career in a 5-3 win over the Chicago Blackhawks to tie Gretzky’s record. The goal came in the first few minutes of the third period on a Capitals’ power play.
In the stands, Patel and Gretzky celebrated.
“Congrats to The Great One Wayne Gretzky and huge props to #8 @ovi8,” Patel said in a post on X. He shared a photo inside the locker room shaking Ovechkin’s hand. “The greatest game on earth, honored to be with them on this record tying night… 894 goals #Legends @NHL.” More here
