The Russian forward of the Washington Capitals, Alexander Ovechkin, called the fourth place in the list of the best snipers in the history of the National Hockey League (NHL) as a special moment. About this in Twitter journalist Samantha Pell said.
“It means a lot. When you start playing and get into the NHL, you never think that you will find yourself in this position next to these names, ”said the athlete. The Russian also stressed that the achievement is highly appreciated by his entire family.
Earlier on Saturday, November 13, Ovechkin scored the 742nd goal of his NHL career. This allowed him to overtake American Brett Hull to become the fourth best sniper in the history of the league.
Ahead of the Russian is the Czech hockey player Jaromir Jagr with 766 goals, as well as the Canadians Gordy Howe (801) and Wayne Gretzky (894). All of these players have already retired.
