Washington Capitals’ Russian captain Alexander Ovechkin drew attention to the importance of the victory against the New Jersey Devils in the regular season match of the National Hockey League (NHL). His words were quoted by the NHL press service.
“Today was a very important game for us, everyone in the locker room knew that. It was a four-point game. We got off to a good start and Mikey (Connor McMichael) did a great job. Chucky (Charlie Lindgren) was incredible today.
We played well with the short player, which was important in the second period. Most importantly, we did not stop in the third period, as is often the case. “We played a good match, played smart and won the most important points,” said the hockey player.
The match, played at the Capital One Arena in Washington, ended with the capital’s score of 6:2. Ovechkin scored a double. Also in the third period, Ovechkin provided an assist and, along with Sonny Milano, helped Dylan Strome score a goal.
Thus, Ovechkin scored 41 (16+25) points in 51 games in the NHL regular season this season.
Washington Capitals got their second straight win in the regular season. The New Jersey Devils suffered their second defeat in their last three NHL games.
