L.A. will try to win their fourth in a row and slow down Ovechkin’s pursuit of Wayne Gretzky’s goals record Monday at Crypto.com Arena.
The Kings will be gunning to match their season-best win streak Monday, but to keep their engines humming they will have to contend with a Russian machine that never breaks.
Ovechkin has 35 goals in 59 games this season, bringing his total to 815, 79 shy of Gretzky’s record. “If there’s a player who can do it, he’s the guy,” said Hall of Fame winger Jari Kurri, who was once also the leading goal-scorer among NHL players born in Europe, as Ovechkin became when he surpassed Jaromir Jagr’s mark of 766.
“He’s just one of those natural goal-scorers. His game is about shooting. No one can take that shot away from him. He finds a way to get open and he doesn’t miss the net that often,” Kurri said.
