Ovechkin, at 39, continues to defy age and expectations, scoring 10 goals in his first 14 games, only needing 31 more to break Gretzky's record.
According to teammate Tom Wilson, it's unimaginable to perform at 39 like Ovechkin does. His talent and scoring ability set him apart in an age-focused sport.
In NHL history, only Gordie Howe scored more than 40 goals at 39 or older. Ovechkin's pursuit of this record is rare and exceptional.
As Ovechkin approaches Gretzky's all-time scoring record, every goal becomes significant, marking not just a season achievement but a step closer to history.
