Russian hockey player Alexander Ovechkin scored 742 goals in the NHL championship match 
Russian forward of the Washington Capitals Alexander Shayba scored 742 fourth place, ahead of American Brett Hull. This is reported by RBC Sport.
On October 9, the hockey players equalized their score, but a shot in the National Hockey League (NHL) regular championship match against the Columbus Blue Jackets gave the Russian superiority.
Ovechkin distinguished himself in the first period with the passes of Evgeny Kuznetsov and Martin Fehervari. To reach the fourth line in the ranking of the best snipers in the NHL, he needed 1210 matches.
Now only Czech Jaromir Jagr (766 goals) and Canadians Gordy Howe (801) and Wayne Gretzky (894) are above the Russian striker. All of them have already completed their careers in the National Hockey League.
Earlier, Olympic champion Darius Kasparaitis said that Ovechkin will break Wayne Gretzky's record for the number of goals in the regular season of the National Hockey League (NHL). According to the player, the forward is gradually approaching the 894 goal mark, where the Canadian is.
