The most important question for all Russian-speaking members of the forum. Will Ovechkin overtake Wayne Gretzky in the number of goals scored this year?
It won't be this year, he's still
140 Goals away from breaking Gretzky's
894. (Ovi has
754)
He scores goals at a monster pace.
1,230 Games 754 Goals (0.61 Goals Per Game)
Averaging 50 Goals a year over his career right now.
(0.61 Goals Per Game x 246 = 150 Goals)
(
246 = 3 Seasons @ 82 Games per)
With the way he's playing right now he'll likely break it in 2025-26. But with COVID & possible injuries that can't be factored in, I can't see him playing the next three seasons @ 82 games and scoring 50 per, that's a lot to ask IMO.
Four Years in 2026-27 about a quarter/halfway through the season is my guess to when it happens
It's not a matter of if he will break it, it's when
