- Ovechkin commented on Backstrom’s decision to put his career on hold due to injury
“We’re struggling a bit, but if you look at all the games I think we’ve had a lot of chances. We simply couldn’t reach the opponent’s goal. That’s all.
Sometimes, you don’t expect it, the puck is nearby – and all of a sudden, it’s not there. And you say to yourself: “It will be better if I take one more step or drive further.” » But I think it’s just a period of time.
If you ask everyone in the locker room about points, every player, I don’t think anyone would say they’re happy right now. As I said before, we have a lot of chances, but we just can’t score, ”Ovechkin was quoted as saying by the Washington press service.
Alexander Ovechkin has appeared in 10 games in the current NHL regular season and scored two goals.
Washington has scored 11 points in 10 matches since the start of the 2023/2024 season. The capital team ranks 12th in the Eastern Conference.
