Ovi tracker: Odds favour Ovechkin to break Gretzky's record before end of season

Alex Ovechkin is on pace to become the all-time leading goal scorer in NHL history. 

According to the odds at FanDuel we could see Wayne Gretzky’s record of 894 goals fall sooner than we all expected. 

Ovechkin is currently -138 to pass Gretzky during the 2024-25 regular season. 

That number represents an implied probability of 57.98 per cent. 

The 39-year-old opened as a 10-1 longshot to break the record this season, as he entered needing 42 goals to set the record. 

That number quickly was slashed to +270 on Nov. 4 after he scored seven goals in his opening 10 games. 

His odds to break the record got as low as +125 on Nov. 13 before a broken leg sidelined him for five weeks. 

However, six goals in January and a strong February have seen Ovechkin become a favoruite to break the record this year.
