The chase for Alexander Ovechkin collectibles remains hot after his record-setting 895th goal, which moved him ahead of Wayne Gretzky as the NHL’s all-time leading goal-scorer.

But it isn’t all sticks, jerseys and pucks.

NHL Breakaway, the official digital collectible (NFT) platform of the NHL (much in the same vein as NBA TopShot), created a 1/1 NFT in honor of Ovechkin’s landmark goal and it sold for $7,625 at Heritage Auctions on Tuesday night.

The platform launched in 2023 and also sold digital packs dubbed “The Gr8 Chase” for $8.95.
