Athletistic / Hockey. The Washington Capitals lost to the Montreal Canadiens on the night of October 22. The NHL regular season match ended with the Canadian team winning in overtime with a score of 3:2.
Washington captain Alexander Ovechkin again failed to score a goal. For the fourth consecutive game, the 38-year-old Russian leaves the ice without a goal. Interestingly, in the previous two meetings he failed to reach the goal. For the second time in his NHL career, Ovechkin started the season so poorly. In the 2012/2013 lockout season, which only started in January, Ovi only managed to score in the fifth game of the regular season against the New Jersey Devils (3:2).
“Washington” has won only one victory in four matches and, having scored 3 points, now occupies the last, 16th place in the NHL Eastern Conference standings. In the next game, the capital will meet the Toronto Maple Leafs at home.
