Edmonton Captain Connor McDavid called the Washington forward Alexandra Ovechkina one of the greatest snipers in the NHL and noted that the Russian has a chance to surpass the feat Wayne Gretzky .
Ovechkin, 38, ranks second on the league’s all-time goalscoring list with 840 goals. The leader in this indicator is Canadian Wayne Gretzky (894).
– Of course, he has a chance (to beat Gretzky’s record – approx.). He is without a doubt the greatest sniper of our generation, and perhaps of all time. “You can play a long time and score a lot of goals if you are as big and strong as Ovechkin,” McDavid told the NHL press service.
Washington will face Edmonton in the regular season on March 13.
