Athletistic / Hockey. Washington Capitals forward Evgeny Kuznetsov spoke about Capitals captain Alexander Ovechkin’s scoreless streak. The 38-year-old Russian has failed to score in nine consecutive games, including four since the start of the current NHL season.
“As soon as Sanya scores a goal, then the storm will come, right?” — journalist Luke Fox quotes Kuznetsov on his social media page.
Previously, the Washington captain had only managed to score the opponent’s goal once in four consecutive matches since the start of the season (during the 2012/2013 season). Note that never in my career has this series reached five matches.
On the night of October 25, Washington will meet the Toronto Maple Leafs in an NHL regular season home game. The game will start at 1:00 Moscow time.
The Capitals have scored just three points in four games and sit last, 16th in the Eastern Conference standings.
