We are all witnesses as Washington Capitals fans watching the greatness of Alex Ovechkin night after night. Now we get to do it for five more seasons.
Needing just 33 goals to catch Wayne Gretzky, I’m confident he can do it the way he’s been trending. He’s defied age and still lights up the scoreboard night after night. Last season he scored 24 goals and is now at 730 in his career.
The previous season saw Ovechkin score 48 goals before the league shut down due to the pandemic.
