Which NHL records will Ovechkin break the 2024-2025 season?

[Acallabeth]

So, I picked several NHL records that are more or less within Ovechkin's reach for the season.
Which of them do you think AO can be expected to break?

GWG’s is such a random thing but that may be the most likely here.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

All of them, never bet against Ovechkin

He is going to have one last big hurrah this season and break the record.

I don't think 50 is out of the question - but I'll be conservative and say he settles for above 42. Only option I voted for.

7 Gwg is a lot in one season
5 OT points behind Crosby - whose still active and better - seems unlikely

14 EN points and 17 multi goal games are also a lot.

So I voted 42 goals only

Doesn't Drew Miller have the grayest hair record?

I could see him break the GWG record or the goal scoring record. I’ll say he doesn’t get any, though.

 

[TheGuiminator]

Bounce back year incoming, I could see him breaking Gretzky’s career goal record and Jagr’s Gwg record

 

[pi314]

None.

If he breaks the record, it will take 2-3 seasons.

 

[Zine]

Other than grey hair, I have my doubts. From his media appearances it doesn't look like he's training too hard this off-season.

Drew Miller looks like a young 1991-era Macaulay Culkin compared to Ovie.

My Best-Carey

 

[wetcoast]

None.

If he breaks the record, it will take 2-3 seasons.

Pretty much this and if people actually watched his play last season that's the reason why.

I know he is still an opportunistic goal scorer but the rest of his game isn't even NHL caliber anymore and there will be be another ugly season incoming.

 

[banks]

Ovie can absolutely hit 50 again this coming season. So I voted for that record (among others).

It could be 8 years after his retirement and if someone asked me if I thought he could score 50 goals next season I'd be like 'ya, there's a chance.'

 

[Aashir Mallik]

The GWG one isn’t too unrealistic imo

He gets like 5 GWG a year, even last year when he scored 31. A slight uptick could have him doing it

17 multi goal games means he has minimum 34 goals, more likely high 40’s low 50’s so that one is more unlikely

Total goals and multi goals and another 50 goals season are probably equally as unlikely, but this is Ovechkin, dude can score 50 next year and I won’t be completely shocked.

i can’t find the OT stats for him but I don’t think he can do 5 points considering his speed, and maybe his usage isn’t too much, but idk really know too much about this one


Greyest hairs isn’t happening, unless he dyes his hair gray

Really? I think he's a strong contender already:

 

[Aashir Mallik]

Really? I think he's a strong contender already:

it seems the hockey reference picture I saw was pretty outdated, based on your picture, yea he is a strong candidate

 

[Jumptheshark]

He will catch 99--just not this year

 

[EdJovanovski]

Saying he’ll take 3 seasons to score 42 goals is insane
14G pace? Lol
It’ll either be this season or very early in next season

 

[CanadienShark]

I'm a believer. Options 1,2,5,6. One more "hurrah" type season.

 

[Faceboner]

Ovi surges for the year scoring 50 one more time to take the goal record in dominating fashion then decides to chase 1000 genos for the rest of his career playing until 44

 

[VaCaps Fan]

He still has it…

 

[hamzarocks]

Ill go none

32 goals and 33 assists next year

Breaks the goal record in 2025-2026 around game 30
