Hockey historian Andrew Podnieks emphasizes that major records like these may not be broken again, underscoring the weight of Ovechkin's potential achievement in the sport's history.
He amazes me night in, night out. I mean, he truly is the best," Capitals goalie Charlie Lindgren said after a February game in which Ovechkin scored three goals, the cheers of the delighted Washington crowd growing more deafening with each score.
As the game progresses, and [with] the quality and the skill and the coaching and the styles of play, fewer and fewer records those big records are going to be broken," said hockey historian Andrew Podnieks.
