Alex Ovechkin scored his 870th NHL goal, moving within 25 of breaking Wayne Gretzky’s all-time record, in the Washington Capitals’ 4-2 loss to the Detroit Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena on Sunday.
Ovechkin scored for the second straight day after missing the previous 16 games with a fractured fibula. He has 17 goals in 20 games this season.

As a Caps fan, I think the team playing so well is a huge buoy for the chase. Ovi dealing with his father’s loss and our lackadaisical scoring rate most of last season had me starting to doubt if he’d keep up the chase but this season has been amazing. My biggest concern is him staying healthy moving forward but fingers crossed
Gretsky scored 894 goals in 1487 games. Ovechkin has scored 870 goals in 1446 games. Just goes to show you if you play long enough any record can be broken. Wayne Gretsky is and will always be the GOAT.
If the lockout and the Covid was not there, he would have the record right now
OVI WILL BREAK THE RECORD, RIGHT?

I agree this is a big deal and he played in the dead puck era. My dad always took me to the games in Columbus when the Capitals and the Penguins came to town. A great era of hockey!
Mario Lemieux….. 690 goals 915 games…..Mario would have smoked Gretzky's record and scored well over a 1000 goals!….. Mike Bossy….. 573 goals in 752 games….. need I say more?!
I never thought Gretzky's record would ever be broken. Ovechkin chasing this record is great for the NHL.
Don't really care. Ovi may break the record but he will never be as good as Gretzky was. To me, this record chase has been an embarrassment.
Hope he does it this season. I wonder how the NHL will take it. They seem to have a "do not touch Gretzky" approach. To me Bobby Orr was a better hockey player. However I am from the old school.
Jimmy from Chicago….Hi Brody!…..The great 8….God willing…will break 99s 894……Being 69 yrs. Old….I go back to the Bobby Orr and big bad bruins….Love him or hate him….this is incredible at his age…!…..By the way….YOU WILL NEVER SEE THIS AGAIN….at least not in my lifetime…..Think of this……a young guy just coming into the league today…he would have to get 40 goals a year for 20 yrs???….and you would still come up short!…..I think this so COOL!!!….
…..Brodie….Love your show!!!😊😊😊❤
I’m not a capitals fan, but I hope this happens
Can’t believe I’m witnessing this, never thought anyone would break that record. Ovi is amazing, Pavelski is still the great 8 to me though 😅
I predict that Ovi will get within 10 goals of the record this season and surpass it in early November 2025
That’s okay. He’ll never get Gretzky’s most unbreakable record in sports: 92 goals in an 80 game season.
This is exciting… I remember it was a big deal when Gretzky broke Howe’s record. To me, this is the equivalent of baseball’s career home run record.
I hope Ovie makes it. He came here to play hockey, and boy has he ever done so! He’s definitely a first-ballot HOFer.
Since he is Russian, I’m sure he’s gonna take some flak like Hank Aaron did as he got closer to Ruth’s record. But he certainly will have earned the record.
I really hope the league hypes this up. It’s definitely the sort of thing to attract new fans and reel old ones back in.
Go Ovie!
Man, I hope he does it this year!
Disappointed to see this Members First flag on your videos and can't access it. Unsubscribing.
Ovi's broken leg was the first "long term injury" of his 20-season career. 5 weeks. The longest injury related games streak missed before the broken leg was 6.
I am a 35-year Capitals fan have had the privilege of watching Ovi's entire career. I never saw a guy as large, as fast, and could HIT so hard as 22-year-old Ovi. 6'3" 240 lbs. with sprinter speed. Ovi is not as fast anymore. His slapper has lost a few ticks. But Ovi still has a nasty wrister and amazing hands. Ovi is more in the slot with the garbage goals. We all know that he wants to hang in the off-wing circle and bomb on the one-time. It's been that way for years and no one has been able to stop it.
Ovechkin was the majority of The Capitals for years. Ovi has a lot of support and doesn't have to be the guy every night. Alakesi (?) Protas is doing breaking out on Ovi's wing. Dylan Strome is showing up as a 1C. Connor McMichael is breaking out. Pierre-Luc Dubois is doing well as 2C. He can just be "a guy" and play. 2C has been a black hole for most of Capitals history.
Logan Thompson was traded from The Golden Knights and has been a great 1A/1B GK tandem with Charlie Lingren.
But Ovi is playing like he is 10 years younger. The passion is fully lit, and we are seeing magic
Mr. Hockey, The Great One, and The Great 8 (or Alex the Great).
We are talking about some of the greatest eras in NHL history, and in the past, we have embraced their greatness…and we are currently embracing it.
Can’t wait for when it happens.
40 goals scored in his last 56 games.
25 goals to go with 46 games left.

OV is a machine. Not only does he have the best shot from the slot I've ever seen, but he both takes and dishes out huge hits on a regular basis. I've heard Gordie Howe was the same way. Conversely, Wayne Gretzky had enforcer protection his entire career (Semenko, McSorley, etc.) and anyone who delivered a perfectly clean yet stiff hit was typically chased down by Semenko / McSorley / someone else to fight them or at least receive an often late / dirty hit in return.
As a lifelong Penguins fan, I’m so grateful that I’ve been able to see Ovechkin play in person.
You just know OV's "shooting" for 1,000+.
Will never forget seeing Ovi showing his kid around at the All Star game while kids from Ukraine were being kidnapped by the Putin regime. All the while Ovi is posing for pictures with Putin and calling them fascists on his social media. That's what comes to mind when I hear the name Ovechkin.
After he turned 30, Gretzky had only two 30+ goals seasons. It’s 3 if you count the 1990-91 season, he turned 30 in the middle of the season.
Ovi has scored 30+ every season after he turned 30, with the exception of the Covid shortened season. That season he scored at a 30 goal pace had it been an 82 game season.
What will make it more special is that goalies today are light years ahead of goalies of the 80s when Gretzsky scored most of his goals.
Putin's suckboy.
Personally I don't want Ovi to break the record. But at the same time I do because I'll have witnessed both of the scoring records being broken in my life time. Since my Maple Leafs will never win the Stanley Cup in my life time.
Young Ovi did not know any English when he came to The NHL. Ovi dove head first and tried his most to learn English.
Someone asked young Ovi why he was so durable.
Ovi responded, Russian Machine never breaks."
That response is a classic.
It’ll be 2025… just maybe not this season…
He already trademarked “The GR8 Chase” and a couple other terms like that to sell merch at the end of the year
Records are made to be broken . Wins and losses, and championships , most important .
It's nice to see one of Gretzky's records being broken. Also I'm guessing Ovie will hit 900 goals during 2025 – and that amount of goals in the NHL will probably never happen again, what a time to be alive!
It's a record I'm torn on him breaking. With the whole profile picture not changing, some Russian player's taking clear stances on Russia's invasion and him not speak on it. Being the biggest Russian star in the league, that was and continues to be tough to watch.
Growing up though, watch him play since I was a kid, I think it's amazing there's going to be a guy break one of the records no one ever thought would be touched. H/t to you Alex, good luck on the chase
If it wasn't for the two nhl lockouts he would has reached 895 a long time ago
Gretzky was a compiler after turning 30.
From age 30 and on until the end of his career, Gretzky scored 188 goals in 592 games.
26.0 goal pace over 82 games.
Since Ovechkin's 30th birthday, he's scored 395 goals in 686 games.
47.2 goal pace over 82 games.
I bet Gretzky.s rookie card will tank when the record gets broke
Don't get hurt Mr. Ovechkin! Pace yourself, you'll get there.
And don't after him any more that usual, rest of the NHL! I'm especially looking at you, players from Canada 😋
As for him being from Russia: And..? 🤷🏻♂️ "The Great One", "Mr. Hockey" and "The Magnificent One" are Canadians and the list of great NHL Russian players is a few pages long.
Nope
The craziest part of this is Ovechkin has a chance to score more goals than Gretzky in FEWER GAMES PLAYED! That is absolutely incredible considering Gretzky played in a much higher scoring era with a lower standard of goaltending, and Ovechkin had multiple younger years robbed by lockouts/COVID. He’s already clearly the greatest goalscorer of all time.
I can Ovi, the great 8, breaking the record… go get them
Keep up the good work, Brodie
