The great chase is over! With 12:34 left in the second period of Washington's game against the New York Islanders, Alex Ovechkin passed Wayne Gretzky for the most goals scored in NHL history with 895 -- all as a Washington Capital.

At 39 years old, the sure-fire Hall-of-Famer has 42 goals in 61 games, and has the Capitals in a prime position to make a run for his second Stanley Cup.

Which brings us to today's quiz. How many of the 21 players in NHL history with at least 600 career goals can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
