Athletic journalist Tariq El-Bashir discretion The Russian striker “Washington Capitals” has almost completed the regular season of the National Hockey League (NHL) for Alexander Ovechkin.
“Overall, however, it has been an unusually tough year for Ovechkin in terms of injuries. Of the eight games he missed, four were from attending his father’s funeral in Moscow and four were due to injuries – two upper body and two lower body. The captain was not out of the game after being injured three times in one season.
The inner hope is that this year is an exception, not a sign that Ovechkin’s body is starting to deteriorate.
It is worth noting that Ovechkin has missed a few games this season due to injuries and a few more due to the death of his father.
Ovechkin has appeared in 72 league games this season, scoring 42 goals and providing 32 assists. But that didn’t help the Capitals reach the tournament’s playoffs for the first time in years.
Formerly Athletics Announced that Ovechkin will be back soon after an injury for missing two games in a row.
