Wayne Gretzky says Alex Ovechkin will break his NHL goals record, 'which is great for the game'
Briefly

"He's had a tremendous start, right? Listen, it's not a question of if he's going to break the record; it's a question of when is he going to break the record, which is great for the game. It's positive, and he's been such a classy player for our sport for so many years, good for him."
"Listen, when you're doing something like this, one of the things that maybe doesn't get talked enough about, everybody's obviously focused on Alex, but it's fun for the other players too."
"Ovechkin's goal against the Predators extended his goal-scoring streak to five games, giving him eight goals in 12 games to start the season. Last season, Ovechkin didn't score eight goals until January 2, 2024."
"At his current goal-scoring pace of 0.67 goals per game, Ovechkin could pass Gretzky on March 5 against the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden."
