Ovechkin's mother Tatyana does not really care for all the hype that surrounds her son or his quest for the record, she just loves watching him play and knows he is out there for his teammates and not records.
She says that for Ovechkin, his family has always been his number one priority and source of happiness, and she is confident even if he doesn't break the record, it will not affect him as much as other people think.
Ovechkin needs only 62 goals to break the all0time goal record of 1487 which is held by the great Wayne Gretzky. He fished last season with 31 goals and 34 assists, if he has two more seasons of this exact total he will be on pace two break in in the 2025-2026 season. In my opinion, he has it in the bag.
