Washington Capitals left winger Alex Ovechkin has 24 goals in 36 games this season, and he is just 18 goals away from beating Wayne Gretzky's career record of 894 NHL goals.
At age 39, Ovi has shown he can still score at the same pace as the NHL's best. His 17:31 average ice time is a career-low, but he's scoring at a career-high shooting percentage of 18.2 percent.
As a result, Ovechkin is +240 to break Gretzky's career regular-season goalscoring record in the 2024/25 NHL campaign.
Fans who don't think he'll score 20 more goals in 2024/25 can get him at -330 to not break the record this season. This market can be found under the Career Regular Season Goal Landmark section in NHL Futures.
Ovechkin has missed 16 of his team's 52 games, but he is playing the most efficient hockey of his long career and his team has a seven-point lead in the Metropolitan Division.
Along with the option to bet on whether or not he'll break the record in 2024/25, fans can place a wager on which team they think he'll break the record against in the Career Regular Season Goal Specials section under NHL Futures.
