Forward “Washington” Alexander Ovechkin will be able to beat Wayne Gretzky’s feat if he continues to perform so successfully, Barys striker Linden Wei said in an interview with RB Sport.
The Russian hockey player has 84 goals to score before the NHL marksman record.
– You have played several seasons in the NHL. Do you follow league matches now?
– It is very difficult to watch the matches due to our busy schedule and jet lag. In the six years I played in the KHL, I barely saw many NHL games. But I follow the results and separately for some hockey players that I know personally.
– Everyone discusses the game of Alexander Ovechkin. Are you also impressed with his goals?
“The fact that he scores so many goals over the years is, of course, incredible. Ovechkin has been playing in the NHL for 17 years and continues to show such a level. Without a doubt, he is a great sportsman.
Can he break Gretzky’s record?
– I think so, if he continues in the same spirit. Five years ago, no one would have thought Gretzky’s record would be broken. So what Ovechkin is doing is amazing. If he can break the record, it will be a big deal in hockey.
