Ted Leonsis said Alexander Ovechkin wants to break Gretzky`s record the right way.
Captain Washington is third in all-time goals in NHL history (797), behind only Wayne Gretzky (894) and Gordie Howe (801).
He knows very well how to do things right.
Alex said: I don`t want to be a third line player, go out on the ice for 8-10 minutes, register on the power play and just score my goals. This is not what I want. Promise me that the team will be competitive.
He, in turn, promised to be in shape and not get hung up on records, but to think about winning another Stanley Cup, said the owner of the capital.
At the same time, according to him, the parties agreed that if Washington remains competitive, then it will be easier for Ovechkin to score and have chances on the power play, and also not face difficult tasks when playing defensively.
In July 2021, Ovechkin signed a 5-year contract with Washington for an average salary of $9. 5 million.
