Everyone in the hockey world is feeling a little disappointed. You have just reached it. He puts everything he has into it. He feels all this pressure and the entire hockey world supports him. Coming into the locker room and seeing him injured was a little painful as a teammate. But it’s hockey, it’s part of the game, anything can happen. “The guys are recovering from their injuries and he’s going to do the same,” Wilson is quoted in the NHL press service.
In total, Ovechkin has 868 NHL goals, 26 goals behind Wayne Gretzky’s record (894).
