Washington Capitals GM Chris Patrick reflects on Alex Ovechkin's remarkable pursuit of Wayne Gretzky's goal record, now just six goals away. Ovechkin has scored 36 goals in the current season despite missing 16 games due to injury. Patrick marvels at Ovechkin's consistency and durability over 20 seasons, emphasizing how many doubted the possibility of Ovechkin breaking this long-standing record. His long tenure with the team provides him unique insight into Ovechkin's impressive career and achievements.
"It's incredible, surreal, hard to believe it's actually happening. It felt like a record that was unattainable ... Here we are."
"It's just a testament to how incredible he is as a goal scorer and how he's held up over these years, to be doing this at 39 is pretty incredible."
