"After a slow start, the 40-year-old winger scored his 900th goal against the St. Louis Blues on November 5 and has added 11 more goals in 17 games since then, which is an over 52-goal pace in 82 games. Ovechkin's return to form gives him 14 total goals this season and 911 in his career. Given how he has only picked up his goal-scoring pace as the season has progressed,"
"Ovechkin is currently on pace to finish the season with 38 goals, which would leave him with 935 career goals. The Washington Capitals captain is not signed to a contract past this season and has previously said he has no intention to talk about his future until the year is done. To score 1,000 career goals, Ovechkin would likely need to play at least two more seasons in the NHL, averaging 32.5 goals across those two seasons."
""I just play and enjoy the game," Ovechkin told RG's Andrew Knoll when asked about the milestone in a recent exclusive interview. "Right now, I'm not thinking about it, to be honest with you," Ovechkin told Knoll. "I'm focused on the season, I'm focused on the next game, and we'll see what's going to happen in the future.""
Alex Ovechkin reached his 900th goal on November 5 and has since added 11 goals in 17 games, bringing his season total to 14 and career total to 911. His recent scoring surge projects to a roughly 38-goal pace this season, which would place him at 935 career goals. Ovechkin is not signed beyond this season and has stated he will not discuss his future until the year ends. Reaching 1,000 goals would likely require at least two more NHL seasons averaging about 32.5 goals each. Ovechkin also remains within reach of other all-time records and has expressed a desire to finish in the KHL with Dynamo Moscow.
