Barley Risotto and Kimchi: A Culinary Crossroads| SaltWire #food #cookingshorts #kimchiAs Alex Ovechkin chases down Wayne Gretzky’s record for most goals in National Hockey League history, that sound in the distance is Auston Matthews getting his offensive engine running.
In that regard, Matthews’ pace is better than what Ovechkin did from 2005-12. In his first 553 NHL games in that span with the Washington Capitals, Ovechkin had 339 goals, 20 less than Matthews. Ovechkin’s pursuit of Gretzky is exhilarating now, and it’s only going to gain more traction and attention once next season starts.
“The big picture, or hitting certain numbers, I don’t think it’s something he focuses on. He just wants to continue to be one of the best in the world and drive our team and make an impact on the scoresheet with the way he can play the game. The Panthers have been shut out twice in that span, and a normally lethal power play has gone cold, scoring two goals on 21 opportunities.
