Alex Ovechkin goals tracker: 'The Great Eight' is 9 away from breaking Wayne Gretzky’s all-time record of 894
Washington Capitals superstar Alex Ovechkin is inching closer to an NHL scoring record that many thought was unbreakable.
The 39-year-old Ovechkin is within striking distance of Wayne Gretzky's all-time NHL goals record of 894. "The Great One" scored his final goal on March 29, 1999. "The Great Eight" could very well surpass that mark 26 years later.
Ovechkin entered the 2024-25 NHL season with 853 career NHL goals. He started the season off red-hot with 15 goals in 18 games. But after suffering a broken fibula in November, he missed five weeks. That time off didn't affect his goal-scoring prowess: He recorded four goals in his first five games back from injury.
