Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin has now moved within 23 goals of catching Wayne Gretzky for most goals in NHL history.

Washington Capitals forward Alex Ovechkin is officially set to make his return to chasing Wayne Gretzky's all-time goals record against the Toronto Maple Leafs. He comes back to action from a fractured fibula injury that kept him sidelines for 16 games.

At this point, the record falling looks imminent. But when? Now that's an interesting and possibly infuriating question.
