Alex Ovechkin is on fire right now.
In the game against the Carolina Hurricanes, he scored a goal for the fourth match in a row, leveling the score at 1-1 during a power play. This was his seventh goal this season and his 860th career goal. He’s inching closer to Wayne Gretzky’s record of 894 goals.
Ovechkin has been unstoppable lately, scoring five goals in Washington’s last four games and racking up nine points over ten periods. The last time he started a season with at least seven goals in eleven games was back in 2021-22 when he scored ten goals. Now, he’s tied with Connor McMichael for most goals on the team and is second in overall points with 14.
