Washington Capitals’ Russian forward Alexander Ovechkin talked about the team’s poor performance in the regular season of the National Hockey League (NHL). His words are quoted club press service.
“I think we played well in the first period and had good opportunities. We started the second well, but then we made a few mistakes…
What needs to be done to improve the offensive game? I guess just calm down with the puck and find my game. We have enough experience to make the right decision by checking the disk at the most important moment. But it seems like sometimes we try to find something unconventional,” Ovechkin said.
Washington scored only three goals in the last three games and conceded 12 goals. The team is in 10th place in the Eastern Conference.
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.
