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.

Leon Draisaitl will look to extend his NHL career-high point streak to 16 games; the center has 23 points (11 goals, 12 assists) in his past 15 games for the Oilers (37-23-4). Edmonton lost 3-2 at the Buffalo Sabres on Monday after winning three of its previous four.

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.
