Wayne Gretzky stands atop the NHL's all-time goals scored list, but Alexander Ovechkin is not far behind. The Washington Capitals star's journey to immortality took a hit on Monday when the player suffered an injury, but he's still likely to eventually break Gretzky's record.

Star captain Alexander Ovechkin was listed as week-to-week with a lower leg injury, per the team Tuesday. The update added he will be evaluated by team doctors on Wednesday. Ovechkin collided with the Utah Hockey Club's Jack McBain during Washington's 6-2 victory on Monday night.
