Ex-hockey player for Spartak, SKA and other Russian clubs Maxime Rybine expressed the opinion that the Washington forward Alexander Ovechkin capable of scoring around 40 goals in the new NHL season.
Ovechkin scored 822 goals during his NHL regular season career. In order to beat Wayne Gretzky’s goals record (894), he needed to score 73 goals.
— Ovechkin is capable of scoring 30 or 40 goals this season in the NHL, or even 50. But everything will not depend solely on him, the actions of his partners will be no less important. I think the team will continue to play Alexander, relying on his cannon shooting and relying on his scoring instincts. Regardless, he can play for a few more years at a high level. In Russia, they look at your year of birth, but in the NHL, it matters how you play. Remember the same Jaromir Jagr, ”quotes RT Rybin.
Washington will face Pittsburgh at home in the first game of the season, the match will take place on October 13.
