Could Matthews catch Ovechkin? | Ovi's other goals | Kuzy's hockey days over?

Alex Ovechkin has made history by becoming the all-time leading goal scorer in NHL regular season history with 895 goals, surpassing Wayne Gretzky. This achievement has sparked discussions about potential future contenders for Ovechkin's record, with Auston Matthews of the Toronto Maple Leafs being highlighted as a possible challenger. Matthews remains humble about the speculation, acknowledging he has a long way to go but has impressive stats, including a goals-per-game average that challenges Ovechkin's early career pace. With projections suggesting that Matthews could reach significant scoring milestones, the hockey world will be watching closely as he and his team prepare for upcoming matchups. In addition to Ovechkin's individual achievements, he is also actively pursuing records beyond the regular season, including playoff and professional goals that encompass international play. As Ovechkin approaches the end of his contract, he remains on an impressive path to not only increase his scoring totals but also potentially add to his legacy with a chance at the 2026 Winter Olympics if international competition restrictions are lifted. Meanwhile, Evgeny Kuznetsov, another notable player, is facing an uncertain future after a tumultuous season in the KHL, where he struggled with health issues and performance, following an 11-season tenure with the Capitals.
