Vladislav Tretyak spoke about Alexander Ovechkin’s performance in the 2024/25 season. The Washington captain ranks second in regular-season goals in NHL history (860), behind only Wayne Gretzky (894).
In 11 games this season, 39-year-old Alexander Ovechkin has 14 (7+7) points. Previously, he was recognized as the first star of the past game week in the NHL.
Alexander is a professional with a capital P. Throughout his life, he collected his name bit by bit, which is very dear to him in the first place. Naturally, he must confirm his name all the time, because it really deserves respect.
And at his age, only a very purposeful, courageous and responsible person can show hockey at such a high level. Being responsible for everything he does is the most important thing.
And Ovechkin has a goal: for his team to win the Stanley Cup. And, of course, score as many goals as possible and get closer to the achievement or get ahead of Wayne Gretzky. Although Alexander doesn’t talk about it much, he is still going towards this record.
Let`s not speculate whether he will be able to achieve his goal this season. I`m a superstitious person, let`s better wish him good luck. So that Sasha has good health - and if he has it and the team plays good hockey, then everything will work out, ” said FHR President Vladislav Tretyak.
