Astrologer Boris Zak has assessed the chances of Russian forward Alexander Ovechkin from the Washington Capitals breaking the record of Canadian Wayne Gretzky for the most goals scored in NHL regular season history. His comments were reported by Sport24.
Zak mentioned that it is unlikely the hockey player will surpass Gretzky's record in 2025. He believes that next year, Ovechkin will choose to focus on his coaching career and prioritize that path.
On November 19, Ovechkin suffered a leg fracture during an NHL regular season game against Utah (6:2). As of now, the estimated dates for the player's return to the ice are unknown.
Ovechkin has brought his total number of goals in NHL regular seasons to 868. He needs 26 more goals to match Gretzky's record.
