Athletistic/Hockey. Washington Capitals head coach Spencer Carbery shared his thoughts on the situation with Alexander Ovechkin. The captain of the Russian team has not scored in four consecutive matches.

“He hasn’t lost his ability to score. I think there are a few areas where he can be more effective when he doesn’t have the puck to help him offensively. We’ve discussed that. He s improves in these areas.

Ovechkin’s shooting percentage is now just 4.7%. We’re just not taking our chances to the level we expected. Sometimes over the course of a career, season, or for whatever reason, offensive performance temporarily declines. The goals will come. All in due time,” Carbery is quoted in The Hockey News.

  • Washington won its 1000th NHL home victory, Ovechkin is the leader in points and goals
