Former Russian national hockey team forward Evgeny Artyukhin doesn’t believe goalless streak is putting pressure on Washington Capitals forward Alexandra Ovechkina .
For the second time in his career, the 38-year-old hockey player did not score a single goal in four games at the start of the NHL season.
“They’re talking about it a lot now, and I hope it doesn’t put pressure on Sasha. I think his scoreless streak is just a matter of time and will end soon. Of course, everyone expects goals and a record from him, but nothing bad happened. It’s the start of the season, training camp has just ended, we haven’t recovered from the stress yet so something might go wrong. This is a work process that does not need to be focused on.
– They expect this season to be very difficult for Washington…
“Our guys are playing in Washington and they will be determined to succeed. At the start of the championship, it is difficult to make predictions. “Personally, I don’t understand how the team will spend the season,” Artyukhin quotes RB Sport.
