Double Olympic champion Alexander Kojevnikov believes that the Russian striker “Capitals of Washington” Alexander Ovechkin can catch Gordie Howe in NHL goals by the end of 2022.
Ovechkin will be 100% able to catch Howe this year. Alexander is on a normal schedule, I think he will score 40 goals this season. In general, he is a master with a capital letter, a very talented hockey player, and talent is the combination of hard work and diligence.
Does Alexander need to get into the NHL playoffs with his “Washington” and play there, because only regular season goals count for Gretzky’s pursuit? It’s nonsense, any player wants to play in the playoffs. What is there to invent here? Knockout matches have a completely different psychology. By then, things could have changed. “Washington” can reach the playoffs, and there will already be a completely different game from the regular season. The main thing is that Sasha does her job and the audience likes her. Look at the stands, the fans sold out all the t-shirts with his name, – Metaratings.ru quotes Kozhevnikov.
Earlier, Ovechkin scored 792 and 793 goals in his NHL career and approached Gordie Howe, who scored 801 goals. Wayne Gretzky (894) is the league’s all-time leading scorer.
