Washington Capitals forward Alex Ovechkin races toward NHL goals record

In a month and a half, the Russian player has unleashed himself in front of goal, so much so that he is now the top scorer in the current regular season, with 15 goals scored. On Sunday, he scored a hat-trick against the Vegas Golden Knights (5-2 victory) and, on Monday, he scored a double against the Utah Hockey Club (6-2). Which brings his career total to 868 achievements for the moment. Only 26 goals left to tie Gretzky. In February 2024, he had already broken Wayne Gretzky’s NHL record for empty cage goals.
