Russian forward and Washington Capitals captain Alexander Ovechkin summarized the results of the match against the Toronto Maple Leafs (1:4) in the regular season of the National Hockey League (NHL). His words were quoted by journalist Sammy Silber on the social network X.
“I think we played right. But now is exactly the time when we need to go through this process, not panic, not get upset. This is just part of the process. “We just need to play hard and everything will be okay,” Ovechkin said.
The winners’ goals were scored by Morgan Rielly, John Tavares, William Nylander and Auston Matthews. The capital’s only goal was scored by Ovechkin. This was the Russian football player’s first goal of the new season.
Ovechkin now has 823 goals in his NHL career (he scored 42 last season). He is 71 goals behind Wayne Gretzky. The Canadian has 894 goals and remains first among snipers in NHL history.
Washington is in last place, 16th, in the Eastern Conference.
