Lada forward Nikita Popugaev hopes for Russian hockey player from Washington Alexander Ovechkin will beat Canadian Wayne Gretzky’s record.
On Saturday, Ovechkin scored twice in an away match against St. Louis (8:1). The 39-year-old hockey player ranks second in the list of best snipers of regular NHL championships (863 goals), just behind Canadian Wayne Gretzky (894).
— Ovechkin scored again, Gretzky had 31 goals remaining. In how many matches can he break the record?
— I certainly won’t give any predictions. Good luck to him, he is a legend of Russian hockey, an idol for many,” Popugaev quotes Metaratings.ru.
