Wayne Gretzky says he WANTS Alex Ovechkin to pass his all-time goals record … telling TMZ Sports it would be GREAT for hockey!!!
“If he breaks it,” The Great One says … “I’ll be the first guy there to shake his hand.”
Of course, Gretzky owns the NHL’s all-time mark for goals scored with 894 … but Ovie ain’t that far behind with 658.
In fact, if the 33-year-old Washington Capitals superstar averages 33.7 goals per season for the next 7 years … he’d tie Gretzky by the time he’s 40.
Doesn’t seem like TOO difficult of a task — Ovie’s NEVER scored less than 32 goals in his entire 14-year career!!!

As for Ovechkin, he says he’s actually gunnin’ for the record — telling NHL.com earlier this year, “I’m going to try to do it.”
By the way, while we were on the subject of records … Gretzky also told us he thinks Tiger Woods has a “great chance” to catch Jack Nicklaus’ majors mark.
Oh, and Wayne also revealed he’s a big fan of Drake!!!!
