Washington Capitals’ Russian forward Alexander Ovechkin commented on the goalless streak in the regular season matches of the National Hockey League (NHL). His words are quoted official league website.
“What’s going on? I don’t know. It’s a bit of luck. I’ve got chances to score, pretty good chances, but sometimes there’s a period where you hold the stick very tight because you can’t score. But overall I think it will happen sooner or later.”
I think this is a disappointment for me. And this is a disappointment for everyone. You see that we are not scoring as many goals as before. I don’t know whether to blame the game system or something else,” Ovechkin said.
This season, the 38-year-old Ovechkin played in 28 games on the ice and scored only 17 points (5 goals and 12 assists). The Russian striker has not scored a goal in 13 consecutive matches. Washington will face the Islanders on December 21.
