Athletistic/Hockey. Legendary Spartak player Alexander Kozhevnikov expressed his thoughts on Washington captain Alexander Ovechkin’s five-game goalless streak. Ovechkin is aiming for Wayne Gretzky’s NHL goals record, 70 behind him. In today’s game against Florida (3:4 in overtime), Ovechkin did not score any points.

“Ovechkin hasn’t scored for five games in a row? Age is unlikely to have an effect. Wait, he’ll break through the defense! After all, he not only scores, but also creates chances for his team. Well, he doesn’t score yet, yes. But only for the moment. I think he will still be able to break through. We hope so! It is important that he gets closer to Gretzky’s record. How much of goals will he score this season? I guess it will be around 30. He will reach this figure,” Kozhevnikov commented in a conversation with a correspondent of the “Championship”.
