Alex Ovechkin is making headlines once again as he scores his 888th career goal, closing in on the NHL’s all-time record held by Wayne Gretzky. Playing for the Washington Capitals in a match against the Philadelphia Flyers, Ovechkin found the back of the net late in the first period, sending the home crowd into a frenzy with chants of “Ovi! Ovi!”
At 39 years old, Ovechkin is proving that age is just a number. With 35 goals this season, he is tied for the fourth most in the league, and he’s on track to potentially surpass Gretzky’s legendary total of 894 goals. With just 13 games left in the regular season before the playoffs, the excitement is building. Ovechkin still has one year remaining on his contract, giving him a solid chance to break the record, whether it happens this season or next.
As the hockey world watches and waits, fans can only hope to witness this historic moment unfold. Ovechkin’s pursuit of greatness continues to inspire not only Capitals fans but all hockey enthusiasts across the nation.
