Edmonton, AB – Wayne Gretzky’s all-time goals record of 894 has stood the test of time, but Alex Ovechkin is hot on his heels. Ovechkin, currently sitting at 868 career goals, is just 27 goals shy of breaking Gretzky’s record.
Ovechkin’s impressive career statistics, including 15 goals in 18 games before his injury, demonstrate his ability to score at an elite level. With his sights set on becoming the NHL’s all-time goals leader, Ovechkin is poised to make history.
Despite suffering a broken left fibula in November, Ovechkin is on the mend and has already started participating in contact drills. He’s expected to return to game action soon, possibly even before the holiday break. Once he’s fully recovered, Ovechkin will undoubtedly resume his pursuit of Gretzky’s record.
“I’m feeling good, I’m feeling strong,” Ovechkin said in a recent interview. “I’m excited to get back on the ice and start scoring again. I’m confident that I can break Wayne’s record and become the all-time goals leader.”
Gretzky, who set the record over 30 years ago, has been watching Ovechkin’s progress with interest. “Alex is an incredible player, and he’s definitely got the talent and the drive to break my record,” Gretzky said. “I’m looking forward to seeing him achieve his goal.”
Ovechkin’s pursuit of Gretzky’s record has captivated the hockey world, with fans and pundits alike eagerly following his progress. “This is a historic moment for the NHL, and we’re thrilled to see Alex chasing down Wayne’s record,” said NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman.
As Ovechkin prepares to return to the ice, the question on everyone’s mind is: can he do it? Can he surpass Gretzky’s record and become the all-time goals leader? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – the chase is on, and it’s going to be an exciting ride.
The NHL has announced plans to celebrate Ovechkin’s achievement if he breaks Gretzky’s record, with a special ceremony and commemorative merchandise. Whether or not Ovechkin succeeds in his quest, his pursuit of greatness has already cemented his place as one of the all-time greats in NHL history.
