Athletistic / Hockey. Famous Russian coach Andrei Nazarov reacted to Washington Capitals captain Alexander Ovechkin’s scoring streak. The 38-year-old Russian has scored points in six consecutive matches.

“Everything is going well for Ovechkin, as usual. It is clear that Alexander is gradually getting used to it and getting into shape. It is necessary to understand that the summer is behind us and Washington did not participate in the playoffs last season, which led to a break without training. This is also the reason why Ovechkin needs time to get into optimal condition.

I have confidence in Sasha and his sniper abilities – he has always achieved his goal, and he will succeed this time too. We all follow him and support him,” Nazarov said as quoted by “Championship”.

Alexander Ovechkin scored 8 (2+6) points for his performance in eight matches. Washington has scored 9 points in eight games and ranks 11th in the NHL Eastern Conference standings.
