Athletistic / Hockey. Washington Capitals general manager Brian McLellan assessed Capital captain Alexander Ovechkin’s weak start to the season. The 38-year-old Russian has scored just two goals in 10 regular season matches and has failed to score in four matches in a row.
“The NHL season has just started. Young players and older hockey players are adapting. It seems to me that Ovechkin will still have his chances. I believe that with time, pucks after his shots will begin to flying into Washington’s opponents’ goal,” Monumental Sports Network quotes McLellan as saying.
Alexander Ovechkin scored 8 (2+6) points in the “goal+assist” system in 10 games of the current NHL season. In total, he scored 824 accurate shots in the league and is the second sniper in NHL history, just behind Canadian Wayne Gretzky (894), who retired in 1999.
