Wayne Greatzaki began to follow Alex Ovechin on Friday night, which was done in the middle of his trek in about a day to cross the great as the best goalkeeper of NHL.
Three goals are needed to cross Greatzaki, Ovechin scored twice to tie, and tried his darnest to get a hat trick.
However, Gretzky was a single leader for more than 31 years. But now he has a company, and soon, he must be watching for the first time in a while.

But Gretzky is more than peace with its record being bound, and is going down soon.
“That’s fine … that’s about the game,” Greatzaki said to the monumental sports network soon after tying it.
“Alex has been great for the game, great for Washington, great for our country. It’s amazing. I am very proud of it, I am proud that whatever I have completed, and that makes our game so amazing, we have great athletes, and more importantly that they are good people.”

Alex Ovechin Auds: When will he break the scoring record of Wayne Greatzaki?
Greatzaki became the all -time goalkeeper of NHL on 23 March 1994, when he surpassed Gourdi Howe with his 802nd career target. He scored 92 more before hanging the clats in 1999, so that he could reach a total of 894.
Ovechin lit a lamp for just four minutes in the game against Chicago BlackHox, as it could be closer. Then, more than just five minutes in the third period, Capital went to a power play, and Ovechin took advantage of, took a pass and ripped it to the previous goalkeeper Spencer Night.
