For his part, Ovechkin thanked fans of the whole world “and in his native Russia, as well as his family and his teammates:” Without your support, I would not be there. ”
Ovechkin has been with the capital since he was the first global choice of the NHL 2004 draft and helped the Washington franchise win the Stanley Cup for the first time in 2018.
Gretzky, widely considered to be the greatest ice hockey player of all time, had held the record since he exceeded Gordie Howe in 1994.
The Canadian, quadruple Stanley Cup champion with Edmonton’s Oilers in the 1980s, remains the top scorer in the NHL history, after harvesting 1,963 assists alongside his 894 goals for a total of 2,857 points.
