I am looking at this link:

Gretzky scored 894 goals in 1,487 games = 0.601 gpg
Ovechkin scored 741 goals in 1,209 games = 0.613 gpg

If Ovi keeps on scoring at this pace, he will get to 894 goals in 1,459 games, beating Gretzky by 28 games. That is just 250 games away, about 3 full seasons from now.

If Ovi wants to pursue 1,000 goals, with his current pace, he will reach by game 1,632, which is 423 games away, about 5 1/2 full seasons. This is not out of reach at all.
