Olympic champion Andrei Kovalenko believes that the Russian attacker Alexander Ovechkin Breaks Canadian Sniper Record Wayne Gretzky .
Ovechkin is 38 and wears the No. 8 jersey for Washington. The Russian forward ranks second on the NHL’s all-time leading sniper list with 853 goals, just behind Canadian Gretzky (894). With the Capitals, the Russian won the Stanley Cup in the 2017/18 season.
— Sanya, as always, is having a good season, he is the best in America not only in statistics, but also in play. The fact that many people say that he could have repeated Gretzky’s record this year, but he did not score enough… Listen, it is not always possible to score in every game! You do a lot for the team, for its victory. The real value of a player is when you attack, shoot, put pressure on defenders, support your teammates in the locker room, and they look at your work and do the same.
Sasha is doing a great job on the ice, off the ice and in the locker room. Just because he didn’t score more than 50 goals this year doesn’t mean he’s in decline. He still has the opportunity, the contract and the desire to achieve all these records. How long will it take Ovechkin to break Gretzky’s record? Let’s not make any assumptions, because last year many people predicted fanfare and fireworks for all this to happen now. I believe this event will happen. Let the god of sports himself judge when this record will be broken,” Kovalenko was quoted as saying by Soviet Sport.
