National Hockey League (NHL) Washington Capitals and Russian national team forward Alexander Ovechkin said in an interview with the league’s press service that he continues to diligently prepare for the new season.
According to him, the team was almost half renewed in the off-season, which means that it is necessary to develop new connections in the team before the start of the new season.
“I always say that I just have to do my job. Of course, you can’t win the game without scoring goals. But the most important thing for us now is to find combinations in the lines because new players have arrived,” Ovechkin said.
This past NHL season, Ovechkin played in 79 regular-season games, scoring 31 goals, dishing out 34 assists and starting four playoff games. The Canadian continues to trail Gretzky’s sharpshooting record. Ovechkin is second in the Canadian’s all-time career, 41 goals behind him; the Russian currently has 853 goals scored.
In the first round of the 2023/24 NHL playoffs, the Washington Capitals faced the New York Rangers, which included Russian hockey players goaltender Igor Shesterkin and forward Artemy Panarin. The Capitals did not win a single game and lost the series 0-4. Ovechkin did not score in these games.
