The 2024-25 NHL season is now two months in the books. With the season in full swing, a few teams are dealing with significant injuries. Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin is attempting to break Wayne Gretzky's all-time goals record,

Ovechkin’s absence has paused his pursuit of Wayne Gretzky’s all-time goals record. With 15 goals in 18 games this season, Ovechkin (868 career goals) is just 27 shy of surpassing Gretzky’s 894-goal mark.

Ovechkin wore a tracksuit and a helmet with stick in hand but no hockey gear during his light workout, which coach Spencer Carbery said he believed was the 39-year-old longtime captain’s first time back on the ice since the injury.
