The previous evening, the Canadiens lost to the Washington Capitals. He did, in any case, figure out how to stop Alex Ovechkin, who was on a six-game objective scoring streak.
The Russian, who has 14 objectives this season, is as yet 58 away from Wayne Gretzky and the NHL all-time record.

There’s just no time left, in any case, for the Despot. His NHL contract ($9.5 million) terminates in July 2026, and as per everything he said to Russian news source sportexpress.ru, he will not be marking another. In any event, he thinks not.

Up to that point, anything can occur, and the inquiry is: in the event that the Russian skipper hasn’t outperformed Gretzky toward the finish of the 2025-2026 season, will he sign one-year agreements until he beats him for good? I suspect as much.
All things considered, he’s so close (in a real sense), and Capitals senior supervisor Brian MacLellan has guaranteed us that for however long Ovi is in the U.S. capital, he’ll do his absolute best to encompass him and assist him with scoring 895 objectives, perhaps 900. The previous evening, during the Habs game transmission on TVA Sports, the organization introduced a graph foreseeing the month and year when the Russian skipper will outperform Wayne Gretzky.
Before the beginning of the 2024-2025 season, this forecast demonstrated February 2025, yet his unfortunate beginning to the mission postponed the cycle by very nearly eight months, returning it to October 2026.
There’s a ton of contingent, and Ovechkin is quick to say as much: “I could do without the word ‘if’. We live at the time, play and continue on.”
At 38, the Incomparable 8 is plainly depleted. He’s having a common season right now, not scoring a point a game (38 focuses in 50 games). He actually brings a decent hockey to the table, yet he obviously will not have the option to play until he’s 50. One forward who could play until he’s 50 is his Russian comrade Ilya Kovalchuk. This is the very thing Ovi admitted in similar meeting with a columnist in his country.
The previous Canadian is at present in the KHL end of the season games with Spartak Moscow. In 20 customary season games, Kovi gathered eight focuses, including four objectives. Not terrible for a 40-year-old…
