Will Ovi break Gretzky’s record this year?

No, but hopefully he gets very close.

When he was approaching tying Howe the whole team was telegraphing that every attempt was going to him. I think when he's made it to around 890 teams are going to be shadowing a now even older man more closely than ever. Just praying that this time around the team and (now replaced!) coaching has the good sense to abuse that situation by letting everyone else score for a little while and counting on that he'll find his chances eventually.
