The NHL’s all-time leading goal-scorer is expected to be in attendance for Alex Ovechkin’s games as the Washington Capitals star gets closer to eclipsing the Great One’s record, according to the league.

Washington (42-14-8), which has won four in a row, is tied with the Winnipeg Jets for first in the NHL with 92 points. Selanne believes Ovechkin’s record chase is fueling the Capitals, and their success as a team is helping him as well.

Alex Ovechkin has inched within single digits of overtaking Wayne Gretzky as the NHL’s all-time goals leader after scoring an empty-net goal in the Washington Capitals’ 4-2 victory over the Seattle Kraken on Sunday.
