Former Russian national team striker Maxim Afinogenov answered a question about the Washington forward’s chances Alexandra Ovechkina break the record Gordie Howe on points for a club.
The Russian has 1,507 points in 1,382 NHL regular season games for Washington, and Howe has 1,809 points for the Detroit Red Wings.
— Ovechkin recently moved up to seventh place in points for a club. Will he have time to catch up with leader Gordie Howe, who is 300 points behind him? It’s a little difficult. Hard to say. It depends on the state of your health. It’s hard to say exactly that. It seems to me that he will catch up with Gretzky in terms of goals. But based on a club’s points, to be honest, it’s hard to say whether they can or not. Gretzky is in fourth place in this top, will Ovi be able to catch him here too? It’s hard to say right now, to be honest,” Championship quoted Affinogenov as saying.
Ovechkin, 38, ranks second on the league’s all-time goalscoring list with 830 goals, 64 behind Canada’s Wayne Gretzky (894).
