Wayne Gretzky believes Alex Ovechkin will break his NHL goals record
forward will overtake Gordie Howe with 22 goals this year, and he is currently 114 goals behind Wayne Gretzky’s all-time record.Ovechkin passes him as the league’s all-time goal-scorer.
In his 17-year career up until this season, Ovechkin has averaged over 45 goals a season. By that average, he would need to play three more seasons to eventually pass Gretzky. However, Ovechkin is coming off a 50 goal season and has scored at least 48 goals in each of the last four full seasons. So, it is not out of the question that he can break the record by the end of next season.
Gretzky has been talking about Ovechkin breaking his record for a few years now. Last season, he said he “hopes” Ovechkin ultimately breaks the record, and two years ago he said that if it happensOvechkin is signed with the Capitals through 2026, and if he plays out that deal, it is likely that he ends his career as the best goal-scorer in NHL history.
