Hockey player Ovechkin said that anything can happen in pursuit of Gretzky’s record
The Russian captain of the Washington Capitals, Alexander Ovechkin, spoke about the pursuit of the record of Canadian Wayne Gretzky in the National Hockey League (NHL). His words are reported by ESPN.
“When you beat Gordie Howe, did Gretzky’s record seem more real? No, not yet. Maybe when I’m in 10-20 goals, ”said the striker. Ovechkin noted that anything can happen in the process, including injury, so he cannot say that he is going for this record.
Ovechkin is the second-best scorer in NHL history. On account of his 812 goals. Gretzky leading the list is 82 goals behind. Earlier, the Canadian refused to consider the pursuit of his record as the main event in Ovechkin’s career.
Ovechkin has been playing in the NHL since 2005. He spent all seasons in North America with Washington. Together with the club, the hockey player won the Stanley Cup in 2018.
