Sergei Fedorov says Alex Ovechkin should keep playing until he breaks Wayne Gretzky's combined goals record: 'If he has the strength, he needs to finish this thing'

""There aren't many pros (to keep playing), aside from the record. But I think Sasha is doing well in terms of family. His family supports him, especially his mom. And if he has the strength, he needs to finish this thing, because we're talking about a record for the ages.""

""He's right when he says: 'We'll see. I need to finish this season, and then we'll see what I do next.' Respected people and famous hockey players are advising Ovechkin on what he should do next. But I'll support him no matter what.""

Alex Ovechkin recently scored his 1,000th career goal, combining regular season and playoffs. He is now 13 goals behind Wayne Gretzky for the all-time lead. With only nine games left in the season, Ovechkin may need another year to surpass Gretzky. He has not committed to playing next season, stating he will evaluate his options. Sergei Fedorov believes the pursuit of Gretzky's record should motivate Ovechkin to continue playing, emphasizing the importance of family support in his decision-making process.
