Athletistic / Hockey. On the night of October 19, a regular NHL championship game between the Ottawa Senators and the Washington Capitals took place in Ottawa (Canada). The meeting ended with a crushing victory of the hosts on ice with a score of 6:1.
John Norris scored twice for the winners, and Claude Giroux, Jake Sanderson and two Russians, Vladimir Tarasenko and Artem Zub, scored another goal each. The capital’s only goal was scored by defender John Carlson.
Washington captain and forward Alexander Ovechkin scored his first performance point of the current season in the NHL last night, becoming the author of an assist. In 18:33 on the ice, he didn’t have a single shot on target in Ottawa’s goal and earned a utility rating of -1. Another forward of the Russian Capitals, Evgeny Kuznetsov, had exactly the same utility coefficient at the end of the match.
