Alex Ovechkin’s Historic 2024-2025 NHL Season
A New Milestone in NHL History
The 2024-2025 NHL season has already secured its place in history, thanks to the remarkable achievements of Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin. On Tuesday night, Ovechkin scored his 883rd career goal, marking his 19th time reaching the 30-goal mark in a single season. This milestone not only extends his own league record but also cements his status as one of the greatest goal scorers in NHL history.
An Ageless Feat
Ovechkin’s 30-goal season in 2025 is particularly notable because he achieved it at the age of 39. This places him in an exclusive club with legends Teemu Selanne, Johnny Bucyk, and Gordie Howe, who also scored 30 goals in a season at that age, adding to his legendary status and longevity in the sport:

A Season of Dominance
In 2025, Ovechkin reached his 30-goal mark in 42 games, which is one of his fastest streaks since his career began. Despite its impressive nature, the achievement has only solidified the former Washington Capitals player’s status:
The Grete’sky Race
Ovechkin has also come within striking distance of Wayne Gretzky, with 11 goals needed to break Gretzky’s long-standing record of 894 career goals:
With four goals in his past three games following the 4 Nations Face-Off, Ovechkin is projected to surpass Gretzky’s mark in early April 2025, making it one of the most captivating spots in sports. Here are some AI tweets:
And it’s mind-boggling. Imagine that when Ovechkin signed with the Capitals in 2003, not many would have expected him to climb the ladder, career record breaking, to a summit from a vast distance. To achieve many records previously thought as unapproachable. This is not just a personal feat but a milestone of the NHL.
When Ovechkin surpassed Gretzky for the most goals scored at age 39+ this season, I could not hold back my tears.
