Washington Capitals celebrity Alex Ovechkin approaches a NHL file that many believed to be uninterrupted.
Ovechkin, 39 years outdated, is at a hanging distance of the NHL targets file of Wayne Gretzky in 894.
Ovechkin entered the NHL 2024-25 season with 853 NHL targets in his profession. He began the Pink-Sizzling season with 15 targets in 18 video games. However after struggling a damaged fibula in November, he missed 5 weeks. This free second didn’t have an effect on the talent of marking the targets: he recorded 4 targets in his first 5 video games again resulting from damage.
The extam has scored 4 targets in its final two video games, together with the 32nd Hat Trick in his profession final Sunday. However Ovechkin went with out an empty Thursday throughout a 5-2 loser at St Louis Blues. This has maintained the whole season on the age of 30, its 19th NHL file with not less than 30 targets. The next most: Mike Gartner with 17.
Ovechkin stays 12 targets away from exceeding Gretzky, with 23 video games left to play.
“It is only a matter of time, whether or not it is the top of this yr, at first of subsequent yr, at any time when,” Gretzky instructed nhl.com earlier this season about Ovechkin’s probabilities to file his file. “I imply, he is an ideal participant. He is an enormous goalscorer.”
Commissioner NHL, Gary Betman, mentioned in December that Ovechkin will comply with round 4 or 5 information in file, with Gretzky accompanying him.
Ovechkin will proceed his chase for Gretzky’s mark on Saturday towards Tampa Bay Lightning.
We are going to watch Ovechkin’s race at 894 targets and past the entire season.
