Alex Ovechkin just turned 40, and what a journey it’s been for hockey’s greatest goal scorer of all time.
The Washington Capitals legend has been lighting up the NHL for two decades now, all while wearing the same red jersey. That’s pretty rare in today’s sports world.
His numbers are mind-blowing. Twelve All-Star appearances. Three MVP awards. And finally, that sweet Stanley Cup victory in 2018 that had been eluding him for so long.
But this season? This season was something else.
Despite the Caps making an early playoff exit, Ovi did something nobody thought was possible – he passed Wayne Gretzky’s all-time goals record. He did it in style too, netting the historic marker against the New York Islanders.
It got us thinking about the NHL’s most elite goal-scorers. Did you know only a handful of players have ever scored 600 or more goals? That’s a pretty exclusive club.
