The Washington Capitals&rsquo; 39-year-old superstar is now just eight goals away from surpassing Wayne Gretzky&rsquo;s record of 894 career goals<\/p><p>Ovechkin entered the 2024-25 season with 853 goals, knowing that every shot he took could inch him closer to immortality. He started the season on fire, scoring 15 goals in his first 18 games. However, a broken fibula in November forced him to miss five weeks of action. Despite the setback, his return was nothing short of remarkable; he netted four goals in his first five games back, proving that his scoring prowess remains as lethal as ever.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Alex Ovechkin broke his leg on November 18.

Now, with just eight goals left to pass Gretzky, every Capitals game carries an extra layer of anticipation.<\/p><p>But Ovechkin&rsquo;s journey isn&rsquo;t just about breaking records; it&rsquo;s also about making a difference. As he chases hockey immortality, he has launched <em>THE GR8 CHASE for Victory Over Cancer<\/em>, a campaign in partnership with Hockey Fights Cancer and the V Foundation for Cancer Research. Through this initiative, he has pledged to donate an amount equal to his career NHL goal total for every goal he scores for the remainder of his career.

Now, with just a handful of goals separating him from the top, the world is waiting to witness what once seemed impossible.
