For the striker “Capitals of Washington” Alexander Ovechkin really broke the record Wayne Gretzky by the number of goals scored in the NHL, as long as there are no serious injuries, hockey official, pundit and commentator Leonid Weisfeld told .
Ovechkin had a hat trick and provided an assist in the regular season road game with the Chicago Blackhawks (7:3) on Tuesday. The 37-year-old Russian became the third player in NHL history to score 800 goals. The second place in the list of snipers is occupied by Gordie Howe (801), Wayne Gretzky is in the lead (894).
Ovechkin has only one goal left at Howe. Will he beat Gretzky?
– Well done Sasha! He still has four years on his contract, it is generally possible to beat Gretzky’s record. The only question is whether there will be serious injuries. Otherwise, it will exceed this record. It’s only about Ovechkin’s health,” Weisfeld told .
