Ovechkin had a 525 goal head start on Matthews prior to Matthews entering the League.

For all the talk of goals to x age and such, since Matthews entered the League, he's only made up 30 goals on Ovechkin (3.33 goals per season). It's a daunting task to try and pass him even if Matthews aged really well and scoring doesn't go down.

Goals since 2016-17:
Matthews - 391
Draisaitl - 372
Ovechkin - 361
Pastrnak - 356
McDavid - 343
MacKinnon - 303
Point - 296
Rantanen - 291
Kucherov - 280
Aho - 278

Very impressive how Ovechkin has managed to hold his own amongst a very strong generation of young bucks.

Also Ovechkin was leading NHL by 41 points over 2nd.
Matthews is 9th with 311 points behind 1st (and 14 points behind on his own team).
They are on completely different tiers.

Gap between 1 and 2 in Ovechkin's first nine is almost equal to the gap between 1 and 10 in Matthews first nine.
