On March 23, 1994, Wayne Gretzky scored his 802nd goal, surpassing all others in NHL history, a record that stands tall amidst discussion of future challengers.
Gretzky's duels with goalies like Kirk McLean and Richard Brodeur are legendary, with Gretzky scoring 21 goals against McLean and 29 against Brodeur, illustrating his scoring prowess.
Alexander Ovechkin, currently second all-time with 863 goals, poses a legitimate threat to Gretzky’s record, especially considering the number of goalies he has scored against.
The narrative of whether Ovechkin can eclipse Gretzky is fueled by his five-year contract extension, which provides him the opportunity to chase the elusive record.
