Alex Ovechkin tied Wayne Gretzky’s NHL record by scoring the 893rd and 894th of his career, the second being the game winner, as the host Washington Capitals rallied to beat the Chicago Blackhawks 5-3 on Friday night.

Ovechkin scored No. 894 on the power play with 13:47 left in regulation to put Washington ahead after Dylan Strome tied it earlier in the third period. The 39-year-old Russian superstar also opened the scoring with his 893rd less than four minutes in.

After a few seconds, Ovechkin’s personal goal song, “Shake, Rattle & Roll” by Big Joe Turner,” started blaring from arena speakers as mascot Slapshot flipped the counter in one corner from 892 to 893.

It all came with Gretzky in attendance for the first time during this chase. He should be there Sunday at the New York Islanders when Ovechkin has his next chance to make hockey history.

Tyler Bertuzzi, Frank Nazar and Philipp Kurashev scored for the last-place Blackhawks.

RED WINGS 5, HURRICANES 3 >> Ben Chiarot and Marco Kasper scored 26 seconds apart in the first period and host Detroit held on for a victory over Carolina.

Patrick Kane, Michael Rasmussen and Alex DeBrincat also scored for the Red Wings. Dylan Larkin added two assists and Cam Talbot made 30 saves as Detroit preserved its chances for a playoff berth.

Jackson Blake, Eric Robinson and Brent Burns scored for the Hurricanes, who saw their three-game winning streak snapped. Pyotr Kochetkov made 16 saves.

Islanders 3, Wild 1 >> Noah Dobson had a goal and an assist and host New York beat Minnesota to snap a six-game losing streak.

Casey Cizikas and Simon Holmstrom also scored for the Islanders, while Ilya Sorokin made 27 saves.

Mats Zuccarello scored for the Wild, and Filip Gustavsson made 24 saves in Minnesota’s fourth straight loss.

Holmstrom gave the Islanders a 2-1 lead when his pass deflected off Frederick Gaudreau’s right skate and past Gustavsson at 4:02 of the second period.
