9 NHL players who were able to break Alex Ovechkin's career target record in the future

The player who has the best chance of hunting Ovechkin down is Auston Matthews.

During the career of the Star of Toronto Maple Leafs, he was a goal machine with the kind of regularity that her eyebrows imposed in a cartoonist way.

Very few goals he scored in one season are 34 and only twice in his first eight seasons, he scored fewer than 40 points in one season. He had 60 or more, including one league best 69 last season.

For his career, the gate per game per game of 0.639 is the fifth best of all time like Mike Bossy and Mario Lemieux, together with the early skaters with six arteriors, Cy Denneny and Babe Dye.

Matthews' Tempo is better As an ovechkins, and it is difficult to believe that he could actually track down the new record.

Here, however, there is a big “if”. Matthew's goal is scored this season because he also missed the time with injuries to the upper body. In 51 games he scores 24 goals (0.471 goals per game) and it is possible that he will not score 30 goals this season, which would score a new career depth. It does not help that his shooting game had not increased at its normal level. He shoots 11.9 percent this year when he achieved an average of 15.8 for his career.

This is not easy to see, but the system of coach Craig Berube is not nearly as free as Sheldon Keefe. Nevertheless, the story of Matthews shows that it cannot be kept down long and the goals will come back.

However, if there is someone in the NHL who is best furnished to follow Ovechkins Mark one day, then they are Matthews.
