The Capitals winger scored twice on Friday night to move within one goal of tying Gretzky’s record of 894 goals.

Those who bet on Ovechkin’s shot prop Friday evening on FanDuel will be interested to learn that 94 per cent of bets were placed on the over.

According to the official scorekeeping, Ovechkin had four shot attempts in the final 80 seconds with Washington up by two goals.

He was stopped twice on prime chances - though play was then stopped one second later due to a goalie stoppage after a shot on goal.

As someone who bet on Ovechkin to break the record against Chicago a few months ago at 1100, I was crushed. And as someone who bet Ovechkin to log 5 shots, I was confused as to how a shot can miss the net while also be saved but not count as a shot or save at the same time.

You can bet on Ovechkin to score his 895th goal against the New York Islanders at -115, while Sorokin remains at even to hold him scoreless.
