Famous The Athletic journalist Chris Johnston in the column on the publication’s website There has been speculation about a possible trade of Russian Washington Capitals forward Alexander Ovechkin to another National Hockey League (NHL) team.
“I don’t think the Capitals will try to trade Ovechkin under any circumstances. However, in an alternate universe where a trade could happen, I think the only teams where it would make sense would be top Stanley Cup contenders looking to improve their top-6 offenses and/or improve their power play: “Colorado, Vegas, Dallas, maybe Boston,” Johnston wrote.
This season, Ovechkin appeared on the ice in 33 NHL games and recorded six goals and 14 assists.
In total, the player scored 828 goals during his time in the NHL. The difference between Ovechkin, who holds the league record for most goals in NHL history, and Wayne Gretzky is 66 goals.
Previously reportedOvechkin has not scored a goal in regulation time for 18 consecutive games.
