The Washington Capitals are on fire in the NHL, largely due to their leader, Alexander Ovechkin.
In a recent match against the Nashville Predators, Ovechkin netted his eighth goal of this season. This crucial goal helped Washington take a 3-2 lead during the third period.
Ovechkin is on an impressive streak, scoring six goals over five games. At 39 years old, he joins Brett Hull and Johnny Bucyk as one of only three players to achieve such a feat at this age. Dylan Strome also made headlines by achieving his 200th career assist during Ovechkin’s 861st career goal. Fans might be thinking that Ovechkin is unstoppable right now.
Chasing History:
Ovechkin is inching closer to breaking records, needing just 34 more goals to surpass Wayne Gretzky’s all-time record of 894 goals. His latest goal was not only significant for personal milestones but also secured a win for Washington. The Capitals have now clinched seven consecutive victories at home.
As the season progresses, many wonder if Ovechkin will continue this incredible pace and make history soon. What do you think?
