Brett Hull highlights Ovechkin's 742nd in a beautiful way

Alexander Ovechkin has surpassed Brett Hull and now ranks fourth all-time in goals scored in National Hockey League history.

"Ovi" scored his 12th of the season in the first period against the Columbus Blue Jackets when he beat Joonas Korpisalo with a brilliant shot from the side of the net.

The Caps' captain scored his 742nd career goal and now moves within 14 goals of Jaromir Jagr and into third place all-time. For the occasion, the legend Brett Hull took the time to send a nice message to the one who just surpassed him.

Ovechkin is off to a great start this season at 36 years of age as he has scored 24 points in just 14 games. It shows how much he is on a mission and how much he wants to break Wayne Gretzky's record. One thing is for sure, if he continues at this pace, the chances of him breaking that mark are pretty good!
