Athletistic/Hockey. Washington Capitals head coach Spencer Carbery expressed his thoughts on the team’s poor offensive line early in the season. He also answered a question about a possible change in partner of Alexander Ovechkin in this line. In the opening matches of the season, the Russian player played alongside Niklas Bäckström and TJ Oshie. During the last training session, the Capitals captain practiced with Tom Wilson and Dylan Strome.

“Change partners for Ovechkin in the line? I thought about it a lot in the first game. In my opinion, their line did not play well in the last game. In my opinion, they were not the main problem , but, in my opinion, they didn’t create many chances. When they did something, it looked good. For example, Oshie had a good chance, but the puck went wide of the net.

Many of their attempts to enter the offensive zone ended in failure – there were puck losses or inaccurate passes. They had to fight back defensively in those moments and seemed to be chasing the puck for most of the game. This applies not only to Alex, but to our entire offensive group. We tried to find more chemistry between the players.

I think the Strome trio was the best in the first two games in terms of analysis, production, pressure and offensive scoring. We discussed it a lot. Theoretically, we can change the lineups, but then we will support certain players over others. We just need to mix the players up a bit,” Carbery was quoted as saying by journalist Tom Gulitti on his social media account.
