Character Alexandra Ovechkina will allow him to recover peacefully from his fracture and break the sniper record Wayne Gretzky says NHL legend Torpedo head coach Igor Larionov .
On Friday, it was learned that the Capitals captain would be out for four to six weeks with a fractured left fibula.
— The season is long. Sasha has a chance to recover peacefully without forcing anything. If you start rushing and forcing things, you may find yourself out of commission for an even longer period of time. I wish him good luck. I think his character, his desire to score, for the benefit of the team, will help him beat and surpass Gretzky’s record,” Larionov said, as quoted by RB Sport.
Ovechkin, 39, has 868 goals in the NHL, just behind Canadian Wayne Gretzky (894).
