Content of the American edition of ESPN Greg Wyshinsky on YouTube channel NHL on ESPN He talked about what misconceptions existed about Russian forward and Washington Capitals captain Alexander Ovechkin at the beginning of his career.
“Then I talked to Chris Clark, who was Alex’s teammate from his early years until the early 2010s, when the Red Age reigned in Washington. He told me that one of the misconceptions about Ovechkin is that he’s looking for personal glory, not personal glory.” My sense was that he was a one-man guy who was chasing statistics and going after a lot of goals,” Wyszynski said.
On the night of December 18, Washington defeated the Carolina Hurricanes during the NHL regular season. The match ended in a penalty shootout with a score of 2:1. Ovechkin did not score. The Russian forward has failed to score in 13 consecutive NHL games, which is his personal record.
This season, the 38-year-old Ovechkin played in 28 games on the ice and recorded only 17 points (5 goals and 12 assists). In total, the player scored 827 goals during his time in the NHL. The difference between Ovechkin, who holds the league record for the most goals scored in NHL history, and Gretzky is 67 goals.
