Athletistic/Hockey. Washington Capitals head coach Spencer Carbery expressed his opinion on team captain Alexander Ovechkin’s scoreless streak. The hockey player failed to score a goal in four matches at the start of the season, which became the lowest in his career. However, in matches against the Ottawa Senators (1:6) and Montreal Canadiens (2:3 OT), Ovechkin managed to score assists and earn points.

“Yes, in the match against Montreal we had the feeling that he was getting closer to the goal. In the first match he had many chances, including the ones where we usually see him. He hasn’t scored yet, but it’s just a question. If he continues to be in the right places, the goals will come.

You would think otherwise, but I didn’t notice a single moment where he seemed depressed or under pressure,” Carbery said after practice.
