The Detroit Red Wings have had some legendary players on the team over the years. Greats like Gordie Howe, Steve Yzerman, Nicklas Lidstrom, and others helped turn Detroit into Hockeytown. One Red Wings star just paid his respects to Alex Ovechkin after achieving a once-in-a-lifetime accomplishment.

Washington Capitals superstar Alex Ovechkin became the NHL’s all-time leading goal scorer on Sunday afternoon, passing Wayne Gretzky with his 895th career goal in a game against the New York Islanders.
