Ovechkin… In 2018-19, he became only the 4th player aged 33 or older to score 50 goals in a season. In 2019-20, he would have become only the 2nd player aged 34 or older to score 50 goals in a season if not for the pandemic (48 goals in 69 team games) In 2021-22, he became the oldest player at 36 to score 50 goals in a season. In 2022-23, he's on pace for 50 goals again. If he gets 50 this year he'll be the only player with 10 seasons of 50+ goals. A few years ago my dad and I were talking about his chances of catching Gretzky for most goals in a career and while it seemed like he had a shot at it, it didn't necessarily seem likely. Now it seems like a matter of when not if. Gretzky at 37 scored 23 goals in 82 games, at 38 he scored 9 in 70 games and then he retired. If it wasn't for the lockout in 04-05 which lost the whole season, the lockout in 12-13 and then Covid shortened years in 19-20 and 20-21, he could have the record already.
