Olympic champion Sergei Svetlov expressed confidence that Russian forward and Washington Capitals captain Alexander Ovechkin will definitely break Canadian Wayne Gretzky’s record in the race for the best snipers in the history of the National Hockey League (NHL). His words guide the way “Championship.com”.
“It’s more important no longer to concentrate on that, but just to find your game and your score, just like Ovechkin knows how to do and always has. Points are good, but the game is more important. Throwing, talent, the ability to choose the position correctly – Ovechkin has all of these at the highest level,” Svetlov said.
On February 15, in a regular season game between Washington and the Florida Panthers, Ovechkin failed to score a goal, cutting his 10-game hitting streak short. He scored 8+6 points in these matches. He played in 53 games in the National Hockey League this season and recorded 16 goals and 26 assists.
The Russian continues to chase Gretzky in the race to find the best snipers in league history. Gretzky scored 894 goals in his career; On February 21, Ovechkin scored 838 goals, the difference is 56 goals.
Formerly NHL Players Association I congratulated Ovechkin has achieved incredible success.
