Some things in this life are eternal: sunrise, love for pizza and Alexander Ovechkin's goals. At 40 years old, the Russian sniper continues to do what he does best — send pucks into the net.
910th puck in the NHL regular season. 40th goal in 2025. The scoring streak has already stretched to six matches in a row. And guess what? Washington is again leading the East.
Numbers speak louder than words
Before Wayne Gretzky’s sacred record (894 goals in the regular season), Ovechkin has the last hurdle left to overcome. Taking into account the playoffs, the statistics are even more impressive — 987 goals, the Great One’s record is only 29 shots away.
This week Ovi:
- Accomplished an assist double in the match with Los Angeles
- Warmly said goodbye to hockey legend Anze Kopitar
- Helped the Capitals extend their winning streak
“It’s not so bad to be Alex Ovechkin,” the hockey player himself sneers. Indeed, when you are 40, and you score like you were at 25, life is definitely a success.
As rightly noted on Xrust.ru, the main question of the season is no longer “will Ovechkin catch up with Gretzky,” but “how much will he rewrite the record.”
