FANS have been left baffled after spotting who Wayne Gretzky was sat with as his NHL goal record was broken.
Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin netted his 895th career goal in their 4-1 defeat to the New York Islanders on Sunday.

But fans were left shocked by who was again seen next to the Canadian Hall of Famer.
Just as Gretzky was when Ovechkin equalled the record on Thursday, his wife Janet, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and FBI director Kash Patel were sat by him.
It left Canadians fuming, with one saying: “Wait a sec, did Kash Patel get adopted by the Gretzky’s?”
Another added: “Gretzky at the Capitals game with Kash Patel tells Canadians what we already knew.”
A third wrote: “Gretzky deciding not once but twice in two different cities to sit next to Kash Patel is crazy.”
After the game, the pair went into the locker room and posed for a photo with Ovechkin.
Patel later wrote in a tweet: “Congrats to Ovechkin. New all time regular season record holder for goals scored.
“Legends of the game, total class acts. Thank you gents andNHL for giving us the greatest game on earth. What a time to be alive… Pure Magic.”
Patel, a huge Donald Trump supporter, was appointed as the FBI’s lead in January.
He has since rubbed shoulders with Gretzky, who is likewise a huge fan of the US President despite his tariffs and comments about making Canada the 51st state.
Trump previously wrote on his own Truth Social site: “Wayne Gretzky is a fantastic guy! They call him ‘The Great One,’ and he is. He could run for any political office in Canada and win.
“Wayne is my friend, and he wants to make me happy, and is therefore somewhat ‘lowkey about Canada remaining a separate country, rather than becoming a cherished and beautiful 51st state, paying much lower taxes, a free and powerful military, no tariffs, and having a booming economy.
“Wayne and Janet, his wonderful wife, love Canada, and they should only support Canada, and whatever else makes the Canadian, and Governor Justin Trudeau, happy.”
Gretzky is yet to speak out on Trump’s stated policy of making Canada the 51st state.
