Alex Ovechkin scored two more goals for the Capitals Monday night, bringing his career total to 868 NHL goals. With this tally, he is now just 26 goals shy of Wayne Gretzky’s all-time record of 894 goals. Ovechkin's scoring pace has been remarkable this season, as he has netted 15 goals in his first 18 games. However, after the game, he faced injury concerns, leaving many to wonder how this will affect his pursuit of Gretzky.
Capitals head coach Spencer Carbery praised Ovechkin’s leadership role in the team, noting that he has been a phenomenal presence on the ice. "He's been phenomenal this year, leading the charge and our team, not only from a leadership standpoint and in the locker room, but on the ice as well," Carbery said. He emphasized the importance of Ovechkin's contributions and impact on the team's games, especially in crucial moments.
