Double Olympic ice hockey champion Vyacheslav Fetisov on the air of the program “Fort!” on the channel “” said that he believed that the Russian striker from “Washington” Alexander Ovechkin can break the record Wayne Gretzky by goals in NHL .
Ovechkin is the second leading scorer in NHL history. He currently has 812 NHL goals, point guard Wayne Gretzky has 894.
– Sasha has reached this peak. I talk to him a lot in the summer, about two years ago he said that Gordie Howe (801 NHL goals – Editor’s note) will catch up for sure, but Gretzky no longer knows. He has a mission. Sasha can bring a person’s abilities to a fantastic level. The main thing is health, and without injuries, we all get sick and worry.
I believe he will reach that peak. Three seasons are enough for him to catch up. This season, 50 goals can score. Sasha is a good guy. The team is with him in this race, in this thriller. It’s a great story,” Fetisov said.
