OVECHKIN CONTINUES THE GR8 CHASE WITH HAT TRICK AGAINST OILERS
With his family in the crowd at Capital One Arena, Alex Ovechkin continued The Gr8 Chase by netting a hat trick and moving into a tie with Jaromir Jagr (135) for the most game-winning goals in NHL history as Washington (38-11-8, 84 points) overtook idle Winnipeg (40-14-3, 83 points) for first place in the League standings. Ovechkin now has 882 career goals – 200 of which have come since Jan. 1, 2020 – and is just 13 away from breaking Wayne Gretzky’s NHL record.
* Ovechkin notched his 32nd career hat trick – and first against the Oilers – and tied Phil Esposito for the fifth most in NHL history behind Gretzky (50), Mario Lemieux (40), Mike Bossy (39) and Brett Hull (33). Ovechkin now has a hat trick against 20 different franchises, which is tied with Hull for the most in NHL history.
* Ovechkin (29-17—46 in 41 GP) owns a goals-per-game rate of 0.71 this season, which puts him on pace to pass Gretzky at home versus Chicago on April 4. Ovechkin (882-714—1,596 in 1,467 GP) owns a career average of 0.60 and that rate has him tracking to break the record on April 12 (at CBJ).

Like really who cares what the nationality of any record holder is?
Greatest Goal Scorer of All Time & it’s not even close!
Gretzky scored against plumbers playing pond hockey in the highest scoring era on the highest scoring team against stick figure goalies.
Everyone including myself thought the record would never be broken as it’s 100X more difficult to score in today’s game. What Ovechkin has done is remarkable.
1. Ovechkin
2. Lemieux
3. Hull Jr.
4. Bossy
5. Gretzky
6. Selanne
7. Bure
8. Jagr
9. Stamkos
10. Matthews

was just looking at where ovi is in the goal standings and obviously its an average but if he didnt miss those 16 games he could be challenging Drais for the rocket.
Also tom wilson at 13th in goal scoring
but his contract will be terrible.

Man I can't believe the Capitals are just endlessly throwing Ovechkin out there to pathetically scape by the record to the detriment of any team success /s

Well...if Gretzky scored against plumbers, I guess he'd say these guys scored against janitors, so they don't even deserve a mention.
