1992 Olympic Champion Alexei Kovalev in an interview with suggested that the striker “Washington” Alexander Ovechkin able to break the sniper record Wayne Gretzky .
Ovechkin is the NHL’s second-leading scorer, 85 goals behind Gretzky.
Will Ovechkin pass Gretzky?
– We will not guess, but I think there is a chance. Ovechkin is having a very good season this season. Everyone’s age affects, and with the new league it becomes more and more difficult to score 30-40 goals. But there are 85 goals left, and there are still three years left on his contract. Up to 40 years you can meet. I believe that Ovechkin’s health is like that of a bull that can go through a brick wall without breaking anything. We wish Sanya to stay strong.
When will Ovechkin be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto?
– As soon as he announces his retirement. They will not wait three years.
On Friday against Nashville, Ovechkin caught Kovalev in career NHL regular season games. Due to the two Russians now 1316 games.
