Athletistic / Hockey. Former Russian hockey player Sergei Konkov urged not to draw conclusions due to the unsuccessful start of Washington Capitals captain Alexander Ovechkin in the new season. The Russian striker failed to score a single point in the first two matches of the season. And in the match against the Calgary Flames (3:2 B), he never managed a single shot on goal.

“Only two matches have passed and there is no point in drawing premature conclusions. In any case, Alexander is a great master and knows what to change in his game to achieve results.

We must not forget that hockey is a team game and that a lot also depends on the interaction of partners. I think Alexandre will score points. Perhaps this year it will take more time to accelerate and collect the usual statistics.

It’s clear that the leader, the one who is an NHL legend, gets more attention. Every year it becomes more and more difficult, everyone has studied you, they know you inside and out, and therefore you have to look for other ways.

Let’s see how events develop further. But I have no doubt that Alexander will please us and the entire league with his effective game,” quotes Konkov from RB Sport.
