Athletistic/Hockey. TSN reporter Jeff O’Neill weighed Washington Capitals captain Alexander Ovechkin’s chances of falling short of legendary Wayne Gretzky’s record. According to the analyst, the Russian striker from the capital will in any case reach the coveted mark of 895 goals.

“0%. As a 45 year old winger, he will take to the ice in a 5v3 format to try to break that record. Washington is not winning anymore, they have no chance of winning the Stanley Cup. There is no left to the Capitals than to help Ovechkin cross the finish line. He’ll play forever until he gets there,” O’Neal said on TSN.

Remember that Ovechkin scored 824 goals in 19 years in the NHL. The Washington captain is 70 goals behind Wayne Gretzky and 71 away from the record of the legendary Canadian who managed to score 894 goals in the NHL.
