Alex Ovechkin scored two goals against the Edmonton Oilers, bringing his career total to 881 goals, just 14 shy of Wayne Gretzky's record. His first goal was a powerful 90 MPH wrist shot, making Calvin Pickard the 181st goalie he's scored against. Celebrating with his son, he also scored a power play goal from his signature spot. Ovechkin is on track to tie Gretzky's record on April 4, which could mark a historic moment in NHL history.
Ovechkin reached 880 goals on an impressive 90 MPH wrist shot during a fast break, solidifying his lead in team scoring with 28 goals this season.
Ovechkin celebrated his second goal by fist-bumping his son through the glass, making the moment even more special as he achieved his 178th multi-goal game.
Scoring the empty-net goal for a hat trick put Ovechkin two goals away from passing the legendary Wayne Gretzky, marking a significant milestone in his career.
He is now on pace to challenge Gretzky’s record of 894 goals, with the potential to tie on April 4 and secure the record by April 10.
