The best scorer of the NHL regular championships, Alexander Ovechkin, took first place among the league hockey players in the history of money earned, according to SPOTRAC and DRAFTKINS SportsBook.
According to the source, the 39 -year -old Russian striker for 20 years in the NHL earned $ 161.7 million (excluding taxes). The second result is Sidney Crosby (155.8), in third place is another Russian veteran of the League Evgeny Malkin (146.8). Next are Angei Capitar (136.2) and Yaromir Yagr (135.3).
Among the entire first five, Ovechkin is the only one who has only one Stanley Cup. Squitars and Yagr are two -time trophy owners, and Malkin and Crosby won the NHL playoffs three times.
It is expected that by the end of his career in the NHL Ovechkin will earn at least $ 171.22 million. If he decides to continue performances in the NHL after 40 years, this amount will increase significantly. If Ovechkin leaves the league at the end of the season -2025/26, Sydney Crosby will be able to go around him in the ranking in two years.
