Kovalev doubted that Ovechkin would be able to break the Gretzki record this season
The Olympic champion and owner of the Stanley Cup Alexei Kovalev doubted that the Russian striker Washington Capitals, Alexander Ovechkin, will be able to break the Wayne Gretzki record in the National Hockey League (NHL) regular championships this season. It is reported by “Match TV”.
He noted that Capitals remained to spend 22 matches and this is enough to abandon 11 goals. “But for some reason it seems to me that Ovechkin doesn’t have enough pars of washers before the record,” Kovalev said.
The former hockey player added that the closer Ovechkin will be selected to the record, the more thoughts will be in his head. “And it will not be that nervousness, but the experience – as if you are going out like a beginner for the first game,” said Kovalev.
On March 1, Ovechkin abandoned the 884th puck in the NHL regular championships in his career and reduced the backup between the record holder in this Gretzka indicator to 10 goals.
