Alex Ovechkin, widely regarded as one of the greatest goalscorers in NHL history, has shared his retirement plans with the public.
With his contract expiring in 2026, Ovechkin has a set timeline for his retirement. Currently, he sits just 58 goals behind Wayne Gretzky's all-time record of 894 career goals.
Barring any major injuries, Ovechkin has a realistic chance of surpassing Gretzky's record before his contract expires. However, only time will tell if he can achieve this milestone within the next few years.
