Alex Ovechkin was recognized by the Russian Book of Records for being the NHL's all-time greatest goal scorer, achieving 897 goals. This milestone solidifies his legacy and reflects years of dedication in hockey. Ovechkin broke Wayne Gretzky's record, marking a significant moment in sports history for Russia. The record was officially noted as set on April 18, 2025, during his 44th goal of the season against the Pittsburgh Penguins. As he continues his career, Ovechkin is poised to further extend his record, potentially reaching 900 career goals shortly.
The legendary captain of the Washington Capitals has officially entered the Russian Book of Records for the most goals scored by a player in NHL regular seasons.
897 goals - a historic achievement that has already become a symbol of perseverance, consistency, and athletic prowess.
These are not just numbers. They are years of training, hundreds of games, thousands of shots, and millions of fans inspired by his play.
Ovechkin is likely going to extend that record quite a few times during the 2025-26 NHL season and is only three goals shy of 900.
