Katch of the Day: Ovi Hits 895
April 6, 2025
History has a new co-author—and his name is Alex Ovechkin.
The Great Eight tied the Great One with his 895th career goal, matching Wayne Gretzky’s legendary all-time NHL record. Here’s how Ovi’s epic climb stacks up:
- Goal No. 895: Scored with vintage Ovi flair—pure power, sniper precision, and a whole arena roaring.
- Tied with a Titan: Wayne Gretzky’s goal record stood tall for decades. Today, it’s shared.
- Consistency is King: Ovechkin didn’t just chase history—he bulldozed it, with 13 seasons of 40 or more goals.
- Still Got It: At 39, Ovi’s playing like he’s 29. Power play menace, locker room leader, and fan-favorite forever.
- Next Up: 896: One more goal, and he becomes the sole all-time NHL goals leader. It’s not a matter of if—it’s when.
Ovi’s not just rewriting the record books—he’s redefining what’s possible. Stay tuned. Hockey history is happening right now.
