WASHINGTON: National Hockey League superstar Alex Ovechkin is chasing a host of scoring milestones, but he's more concerned about staying safe at home with his pregnant wife than returning to the ice.

"It's a scary situation," Ovechkin said in a conference call."It's a scary moment for people all around, not only us. You think about those little things, but as soon as you start thinking worldwide and what's going on in the world, it's scary."So my mind right now, it's not about 50 goals or catching"The Great One" or somebody else. My mind right now is about doing the best what I can do or what my family can do to be safe and to get over it.

"Of course you want to score 50," Ovechkin said."But right now, the most important thing is be stay safe and to get the thing done.
