“It’s not clear that he’s bothered by this situation. There were also moments when I could not score at the pace I wanted. In moments like these, I think attention to detail and the desire to influence the game in other ways are important. Ovechkin’s presence on the ice also affects other teams. Efficiency will come. And very few people can score with the same rhythm as Ovechkin,” Oshie said.
Ovechkin played a total of 44 games in the regular season of the National Hockey League this season, scoring nine goals and making 22 assists. He is only putting 6% of his shots on target (down from 14.3% last season).
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.
On February 7, Washington will play a home game against the Montreal Canadiens. The starting siren will sound at 03:00 Moscow time. The Capitals sit 12th in the Eastern Conference standings after 47 games. The team is 5 points behind the play-off zone.
