Byron Froese, a forward for Lokomotiv, expressed in an interview with marvelgamingbet.com that he wants Washington Capitals forward Alexander Ovechkin to break Wayne Gretzky's NHL record for most goals scored.
– Ovechkin puts on an incredible show. He’s done so much for both the NHL and hockey in general.
– Would you want him to break Gretzky’s record?
– Of course!
– But you are Canadian.
– Yes, so what if I am?
– Don’t you have any patriotic feelings towards Gretzky?
– I think everyone wants Ovechkin to break Gretzky’s record. I believe Ovechkin will do it. In any case, Alexander is a living legend.
Froese joined Lokomotiv from Vegas and has scored one goal and provided one assist in six games during the current FONBET KHL season.
Recall that Ovechkin has played for the Washington Capitals since 2005. In the 2012-2013 season, he returned to the KHL and played for Dynamo Moscow, where he began his career. As the NHL 2024/2025 season approaches, Ovechkin has a total of 853 goals, 41 goals away from Gretzky’s long standing record.
