Hockey agent Shumi Babaev said that Alexander Ovechkin will break Wayne Gretzky’s NHL goalscoring record in two seasons.
Ovechkin ranks second on the league’s all-time scoring list with 853 goals, behind Gretzky (894).
— What are Ovechkin’s chances of breaking Gretzky’s record this season?
– Here, not only everything depends on him, but a lot comes from the team, from partners. I don’t see the point in going straight. He will accomplish this task in two seasons. Whether it happens in the new season or the next one is not such a big difference. The question here is: to what extent will Ovechkin beat Gretzky’s record and what will be the final result when he ends his career. And it will clearly be higher than Gretzky’s record, “Babaev said at the Championship.
The NHL regular season begins October 4.
