Former coach of the Kontinental Hockey League clubs, Andrei Nazarov, shared his opinion that Washington Capitals forward Alexander Ovechkin earned a point in the sixth consecutive game. Nazarov’s words are quoted as follows: “Championship”.
“Ovechkin has a six-game points streak, where does the criticism come from? Everything is going well as usual. It’s clear that the Washington captain is slowly settling in and getting back into shape. You must understand that the summer is behind us, moreover, the Capitals did not qualify for the play-offs according to the results of the last regular season, as a result of which the pause without games was prolonged,” said Nazarov.
This NHL season, Ovechkin appeared in eight games and recorded two goals and six assists. The Russian player played a total of 1,355 matches during his career in the league and scored 824 goals and made 669 assists in these matches.
Ovechkin, who played in 74 regular season games in the NHL last season, scored 42 goals and 33 assists. However, this did not help the Capitals reach the tournament’s play-offs.
Washington earned its third straight victory in the National Hockey League’s regular season this season; In total, the team won four matches and lost four. The Capitals will next face the New York Islanders.
