Gretzky broke out of his mini-slump with his 799th goal and three assists in a 7-0 win against the Ottawa Senators. Three games later, he scored Nos. 800 and 801 in a 6-6 tie against the San Jose Sharks.

Capitals superstar Alex Ovechkin pulled within single digits of Wayne Gretzky, and he hit a historic milestone in the process.
