Three-time world hockey champion Alexei Tereshchenko said it is too early to talk about the decline of Russian forward and Washington Capitals captain Alexander Ovechkin. His words guide the way “Championship.com”.
“Ovechkin’s downfall? Wait. There are still 40 matches left until the end of the championship. Then we’ll talk. Anything can happen. This is a sport. There was a brief break in Washington for the All-Star game. So I hope everything will be fine. How many goals will he score in the end? Why should I guess? Let’s take a look. Time will tell,” said Tereshchenko.
On the night of January 28, Washington played the Dallas Stars and Ovechkin scored a goal and an assist. The Capitals sit 12th in the Eastern Conference standings after 47 games. The team is 5 points behind the play-off zone. On February 7, Washington will meet with Montreal.
This season, the Russian forward played in a total of 44 games in the regular season of the National Hockey League (NHL) and scored nine goals and made 22 assists.
Ovechkin continues to pursue Wayne Gretzky’s sniping record. The Russian has 831 goals. The legendary Canadian scored 894 goals in his NHL career; Ovechkin is now 63 goals behind him.
