But the biggest story this season is Alex Ovechkin’s quest for records. In addition to being one goal away from the all-time record, he is the third-best forward in the NHL… at 41 years old… despite missing five weeks with a broken leg.
Yesterday, the Capitals captain tied Wayne Gretzky’s record of 894 goals. As early as tomorrow, he could become the all-time leading scorer. Washington will be visiting New York to face the Islanders and let’s just say the ticket prices are not cheap. Here, we see that the prices are around $900 and more.

And the game is not even in Washington…
To see Ovi score his 895th career goal, it’s going to cost a lot. And until the end of the season, as long as Ovi is not alone on his throne, we can expect this type of price…
The cheapest tickets on StubHub are $907 and $935. Otherwise, you’re looking at tickets for $1,000, $2,000, or even $6,000.
It won’t be easy against the Islanders, who are battling for a playoff spot. And let’s bet that Patrick Roy’s team will have the Tsar in their sights. Plus, the Russian has never scored against Ilya Sorokin in his career. His first goal against him could be a big one.

It’s worth noting that Sorokin has started seven games in his career against Washington, and in those seven games, Ovi was absent for three.

– It’s crazy.
McDavid – 1.18 goals per 60.
Gallagher – 1.10 goals per 60.
Marner – 0.92 goals per 60.
Konecny – 0.92 goals per 60.Gally is scoring at any better pace than wingers on Canada’s 4 Nation squad, and basically even with McJesus.
