Russian Ovechkin reduced the backlog from Gretzky to 83 goals

Russian striker of the National Hockey League club “Washington Capitals” Alexander Ovechkin reduced the gap in the list of the best NHL snipers in history.

Now, 83 goals separate him from the Canadian Wayne Gretzky.

Recall that in today’s match against the Colorado Avalanche, the striker threw the puck into the opponents’ goal. Thus, Ovechkin, who now ranks second in the ranking of the best scorers in NHL history, scored his 811 goals.

Note that in the first place in this ranking is Canadian forward Wayne Gretzky, who scored 894 goals in 1487 matches.
