Alex Ovechkin is very close to breaking Wayne Gretzky`s record for the most goals in NHL history. He scored twice on Friday to equal Gretzky, and he will have a chance to surpass him in the game against the New York Islanders on Sunday.
After scoring two goals in a memorable game against the Blackhawks, Ovechkin decided not to score his record-breaking goal into an empty net. Hockey fans are eager to watch Ovechkin play against the Islanders as he aims to make history.
With six games left in the season, Ovechkin has plenty of chances to break the record. Even at 39 years old, he is scoring goals quickly. His first goal on Friday was his 40th of the season, marking his 14th 40-goal season – more than Gretzky.
Fans who want to witness history will be excited to know that Ovechkin often plays well against the Islanders. He has scored 44 goals against them in 71 games, which is among his highest totals against any team.
As Ovechkin is just one goal away from breaking the record, here`s how you can watch the Capitals play the Islanders.
