Hull: Ovechkin will be unique when he catches up with Gretzky

“It's very fun to watch this sniper race.

I will not say that Ovechkin is unique in his own way, until he possibly surpasses Wayne Gretzky.

Then it can become unique, "- the press service of the NHL quotes Hull.

At the same time, Hull called Ovechkin a great player.

“Given how he continues to shoot goals, we have to give him credit,” he added.

Ovechkin came in fourth on the list of NHL snipers of all time.

The 36-year-old striker of the Russian national team scored the 741st goal in the game with Buffalo (5: 3).

He caught up in the number of goals scored with the American Brett Hull.
