“There is no need to talk about a return to chasing. Alexander needs to calm down, eliminate unnecessary tension, calm down and do everything he can for the team. If you manage to score a goal, that’s great. The most important thing here is to relax and play calmly and confidently, so as not to create unnecessary excitement,” Konkov said.
On the night of January 28, Washington played the Dallas Stars. The match was played at the American Airlines Center in Dallas and ended with the home team winning in overtime with a score of 5:4. Ovechkin scored the puck at the end of the third period and also had an assist.
