Alex Ovechkin continues to be an unreal goal-scorer, and age is nothing but a number for him.
He scored a hat trick on Tuesday night, and with goal No. 3 on the night against the Chicago Blackhawks, he notched 800 goals in his unbelievable career.
Next is Gordie Howe (801). And after that? He’s got his eyes set on Wayne Gretzky’s all-time record of 894 goals.
First of all, you have to assume that he stays healthy as his chase continue
Let's use the number of 77 games he played last year (in which he scored 50 time
What will he play this year, that would put him at around 49 goals (ATEG 37!!). He takes her to 829.
Let's do 77 games again and maybe guess that he takes a slight step back how does 40 goals sound? We get to 869.
That means he’d need “just” 26 goals at age 39 to pass Gretzky in 2024-25.
It was extremely unscientific, but he is 94 goals away. as long as the level he's playing at
Even playing at 85 percent of his level, he has more than one shot.
