It was quite the night for Alex Ovechkin in Washington as the GR8 one tied the Great One with his 894th career goal with Wayne Gretzky in attendance.

But a lot of hockey fans were asking the same question about the person sitting with Gretzky and NHL commissioner Gary Bettman: was that ... Kash Patel sitting with them? As in the new director of the FBI under Donald Trump?

The answer is: yes. We're not sure if Gretzky and Patel are friends or if it was just somebody in the world of politics going to what turned out to be a historic game in Washington D.C. We do know that Gretzky has supported Trump and has gotten a lot of backlash from Canadians.

But, yeah. That was him.
