“Alexander Ovechkin can be considered a real NHL record holder. With every goal he scores, he gets closer to Wayne Gretzky’s record. I am sure that everyone in Russia fears that he will break this record and be worthy of representing our country.” But that probably won’t happen next season, but maybe later. Alexandre is a talented player with excellent health. It was created for hockey,” Krikunov said, as quoted by RIA Novosti Sport.
Russian striker of the “capital” team, Alexander Ovechkin, scored a goal in the last minutes of the second period of the match against the Detroit Red Wings (2:1), after an assist from TJ Oshie . This goal was already the 30th for the Russian in the current NHL season. Ovechkin broke Mike Gartner’s record by setting a new record for most NHL seasons with 30 or more goals scored (18).
