Goals from age 30 and on:

Ovechkin - 416
Gretzky - 188

Crazy to think of the ground that Ovechkin had to make up on Gretzky in his 30s.

Ovechkin's 416 goals after the age of 30 would rank him at #98 overall for career NHL goals.

Gretzky had 706 goals before the age of 30 and only 188 goals from 30 years old until he retired at 38.


Most NHL goals scored by players over the age of 30.

Ovechkin is among elite company. All of these players on this list are first ballot NHL Hall of Famers:

Alexander Ovechkin - 416
Gordie Howe - 415
Phil Esposito - 409
Johnny Bucyk - 374
Teemu Selanne - 338
Brett Hull - 328
Marcel Dionne - 321
Mark Messier - 314
Jaromir Jagr - 306
Mike Gartner - 304
Gretzky had some injuries on the back end right? I feel like he did, but I could be wrong.

Oh well.
