According to Babaev, Ovechkin did not shoot the puck from his usual position. Before that, he made several shots, then changed his position and was able to score after a pass from the defender. Babaev noted that Washington plays with an emphasis on possession of the puck, but so far the dynamics of the game are not impressive. In his opinion, Ovechkin feels confident, and after scoring a goal, the situation should normalize. Babaev also pointed out that Ovechkin still has three years left on his contract to break Gretzky’s record and that there is no reason to panic or worry.
