Former CSKA and Avangard goalkeeper Alexander Fomichev on said that the captain “Washington » Alexander Ovechkin maintains a chance to break the NHL goals record this season.
In the 2024/25 season, 39-year-old Ovechkin leads the NHL sniper list with 15 goals. In total, he has 868 NHL goals, second only to Wayne Gretzky’s record (894).
— Ovechkin has set the bar very high. Probably unexpected, even for him.
It is necessary to note the whole team: they began to play a little differently, they began to act differently in the opponent’s zone and well-played combinations appeared. And the main task of these combinations is to make Ovechkin shoot. And his throw is correct. Throws and converts.
If he continues at this pace, by the end of the season he will catch up and break Gretzky’s record,” Fomichev said on .
Ovechkin injured his leg Monday late in the NHL regular season game against Utah (6:2). Later, the Washington press service announced that the Russian would return to duty after his injury “from week to week.”
