Reminder: Ovechkin; at age 36, needs 8 goals in 14 games to tie Gretzky and Bossy for most 50 goal seasons in a career at 9. Had 2020 not been cut short due to covid; he would be approaching a record setting 10th season with 50 or more goals.

For reference, he is also one 40 goal season from passing Gretzky for the most 40 goal seasons in league history and by next year will own or tie for the the title of most and 30 and possibly 40 goal seasons should he not slow down. Should Backstrom and Carlsson in Washington hold up to feed him 1 timers I do not see how he should not net one more 40 goal season.
His hardest next two records to beat will be one more 50 goal season and 6 more 20 goal seasons to own the 50 goal record and break Howes 22 seasons with 20 or more goals. I would love to see him play until 45 just to see him break Howe's 20 goal record as well. With Gretzky's record currently 122 goals away to tie and 123 away to beat; he may very well only be 3 more seasons from being the overall record holder.
