Ilya Kovalchuk said that Alexander Ovechkin will break Wayne Gretzky’s record
Spartak Moscow forward Ilya Kovalchuk assessed the chances of Washington Capitals forward Alexander Ovechkin to break Wayne Gretzky’s record for the most goals in the regular championships of the National Hockey League (NHL). This is reported by Metaratings.
According to the Russian, he is very worried about his compatriot. “The most important thing is for him to relax and do what he loves. There is a lot of noise around, which sometimes gets in the way. Sasha is an experienced guy and knows how to behave in such situations. I’m sure he will break the record,” Kovalchuk said.
Ovechkin has scored eight goals this season. Now he has 830 goals, he is 64 goals behind Gretzky.
40-year-old Kovalchuk resumed his career this season. In 10 regular season matches of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL), he scored four goals and made one assist.
