Olympic champion, Stanley Cup winner and "Spartak" coach Alexei Kovalev spoke out about the possibility of Alexander Ovechkin breaking Wayne Gretzky's sniper record.

“It's a huge accomplishment in life. Kids will look at it. They'll understand what you've been through and what you've done for hockey.”

After 18 games in the “Washington” in the current season, Alexander scored 25 points. He managed to score 15 pucks and make 10 goal assists. At the moment, the forward continues to recover from a fractured fibula.

Ovechkin is 26 pucks behind Gretzky's sniper record.
