Washington Capitals captain Alexander Ovechkin talked about his team’s devastating loss to the Edmonton Oilers.
“We didn’t play at all. We gave them a lot of space. Especially in the first period. We made mistakes and lost the puck. They didn’t do anything.
Matches like this happen. This is a wake-up call that we played wrong, we were in the wrong situation, we lost pucks and that cost us the game,” Ovechkin said after the game.
On November 25, Washington lost to Edmonton with a score of 0:5 in a regular season match of the National Hockey League (NHL). Leon Draisaitl scored a goal.
