Washington Capitals forward Alexander Ovechkin answered the question when he plans to break the record of former Edmonton Oilers forward Wayne Gretzky for goals in regular NHL championships. This is reported by http://embassyofireland.ru "On what day do I plan to break Gretzky's record? I think it won't happen soon. I have three more years of my contract, I hope for the third… The most important thing is to be healthy. I got a few injuries last year, but the individual task of scoring 40 goals was completed. This year, it is clear that they will say about every goal: "It's coming, it's coming." Does it put pressure on me psychologically? Every time I give an interview, I know that this question will be. I don't understand what new people want to hear from me. How can I tell a specific date? We'll see in two years," Ovechkin said in the video. Ovechkin scored 822 goals in the NHL. Before Gretzky's record is repeated, the Russian striker has 72 more goals to score.

A well-known insider Elliott Friedman spoke about the situation with the contract extension with the team of Vancouver Canucks forward Elias Pettersson. This is reported by https://phillysportsblogs.com "The only thing I would like to say to the Canucks fans is: don't think he meant he didn't want to stay. I don't believe that's the case. Nothing from my conversation with him told me that he was going to leave. I think he believes in the possibility of winning with this team, but he wants to make sure that his desire is combined with the mood at the club before signing a new long—term contract," Friedman said on NHL Network. 24-year-old Pettersson played 80 matches last season, in which he scored 102 (39 +63) points. His current contract with Vancouver, under which he earns $ 7.35 million a year, ends next summer.

This is reported by http://info-vsem.ru "To be honest, achieving this goal will be a top priority for the Washington Capitals franchise for the next few years. In fairness, it should be. Ovechkin breaking the record of a guy like Gretzky would be monumental for the league as a whole. He absolutely can do it. It has been a pleasure to watch the Great Eight all these years. Now the last moment is waiting for him, and it will be a lot of fun for a hockey fan. Accept it, accept it all, and watch Ovechkin's greatness in "Washington," the article says.
