Washington Capitals star player Alexander Ovechkin (39) is currently on an insane run to start the 2024-2025 season as he inches closer and closer to breaking the all-time goal record set by NHL legend Wayne Gretzky, a record once considered by many to be impossible to break.

Ovechkin currently has 15 goals for the Washington Capitals in the team's first 18 games of the season, and five goals in the last five games.

The legendary sharpshooter, who has a career total of 868 goals is currently on pace to have over 50 this season, which would shatter the record of 894 career goals set by Gretzky.

Ovechkin needs just 27 more goals to surpass Gretzky as of November 18, 2024. His three goals against the Las Vegas Golden Knights on Sunday marks the 77th multi-goal game of his career and his 31st hat trick.
