Alex Ovechkin’s remaining schedule: Can he pass Wayne Gretzky?

Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin, who wears No. 8, needs eight goals in the team’s final 15 regular season games to break Wayne Gretzky’s record of 894 career goals.

That’s a pace of 0.53 goals a game and he has been clicking at a 0.58 rate since he returned on Dec. 28 from a fractured left fibula.

Ovechkin scored once during a three-game California swing. The Capitals will start a three-game homestand on Tuesday, then play eight of their final 12 games on the road.

Washington will play the Carolina Hurricanes, New York Islanders and Columbus Blue Jackets twice.

Here’s a look at Ovechkin’s remaining 2024-25 schedule, how he fared against those teams, which games are on national television and how to stream (all times p.m. ET; television as of March 17):
