It’s been a long time coming, but Alex Ovechkin is finally on the brink of NHL history. The 38-year-old Washington Capitals star is now just 73 goals away from surpassing Wayne Gretzky’s all-time NHL record of 894 goals.
Ovechkin has been chasing Gretzky’s record for years, and it’s been a long and winding road. He’s had to battle injuries, age, and the changing landscape of the NHL, but he’s persevered and is now just 73 goals away from becoming the greatest goal scorer in NHL history.
Ovechkin has already earned a place in the record books as one of the most decorated players in NHL history. He’s won three Hart Trophies as the league’s most valuable player, eight Rocket Richard Trophies as the league’s top goal scorer, and a Stanley Cup championship.
