Ovechkin has 822 career NHL regular season goals. To beat Wayne Gretzky’s record, he will need to score 73 goals against his opponents. Last season, Ovechkin scored 75 points (42+33) in 73 regular season games.
“I believe that the number of goals that Alexander will score this season will directly depend on his physical fitness and health. I believe that he is perfectly prepared for this challenge and, given his character, we can expect he scores 30, even 40 goals,” noted Pliouchchev.
