Olympic champion and Stanley Cup winner Valery Kamensky told he is not worried about Washington Capitals forward and captain Alexander Ovechkin as the National Hockey League (NHL) season begins and that he was convinced that his game would return to normal.
On Monday, Washington lost to the Toronto Maple Leafs in the NHL regular season game with a score of 1:4, this is the Capitals’ third consecutive defeat. The capital team occupies last place in the Western Conference standings with 3 points.
Ovechkin scored his first goal of the season and his 823rd in the NHL, closing the gap with the league’s leading scorer, Wayne Gretzky, to 71. Additionally, the Russian forward missed the penalty early in the second period.
— I wasn’t worried about Ovechkin, I was sure that everything would be fine for him. I wasn’t afraid for him either. These are human qualities, and Sasha proved everything to everyone a long time ago. He is second all-time in NHL goals. It happens that some people start better, others worse. I repeat, I was sure that everything would be normal for him. In general, I want him to score more goals, everyone expects that. And so that there are no injuries. “Basically, I have wishes for Sasha, not expectations,” Kamensky told .
In the next game, Washington will face the New Jersey Devils.
