Down-the-line.com/Hockey. 29-year-old SKA St. Petersburg forward and captain Dmitry Yashkin estimated Alexander Ovechkin’s chances of overtaking Wayne Gretzky in NHL goals:

– You are friends with Alexander Ovechkin. What do you think now of his pursuit of Gretzky? Will he be able to top it and how long will it take him to do so?

– Of course. And I don’t think it will be too much of a problem for him. How long that will take is another question. I hope that in 3-4 years it will happen, God forbid. Therefore, I keep my fists up and wish him that this will happen as soon as possible, reports postnews.ru.

The other day, Alexander Ovechkin broke Wayne Gretzky’s NHL record for most open-net road goals. 31 goals for Ovechkin against 30 for Gretzky.
