Alex Ovechkin scored the 892nd goal of his career against the Carolina Hurricanes on Wednesday, meaning he needs just two to tie Wayne Gretzky’s record of 894 and three to pass The Great One.Once thought an unbreakable record, Gretzky’s days as the NHL’s goal king are now numbered.BetMGM sportsbook has Ovechkin at -500 to break the record this season.The Capitals have seven games remaining in 2024-25, and Ovechkin’s next chance to add to his illustrious tally comes on Friday night against the Chicago Blackhawks, who rank 31st in the NHL in goals against average.The Capitals, who have sported the best record in the Eastern Conference almost all season, are -410 favorites to beat the Blackhawks on Friday. It’s hard to argue with the wide odds, as the Caps are a whopping 53 points and 30 places ahead of the Hawks in the standings.Washington leads the NHL in goals per game (3.6), while Chicago is second-to-last in goals allowed per game (3.6).That bodes well for Ovechkin’s chances to get on the scoresheet, and the bookmakers know there will be plenty of action on the Russian to get on the scoresheet.Ovechkin is -145 to score one goal on Friday, +460 to tie the record with two, and 40/1 to record a hattrick and break the record.The Great 8 has recorded two hattricks and five multi-goal games this season.Washington has six more games after Friday, including two against the New York Islanders and Columbus Blue Jackets.The Jackets and Isles are the two favorites to give up the record-breaking goal.21+.Gambling problem?
