Athletistic/Hockey. Hockey agent Shumi Babaev expressed his opinion on the start of the NHL season for Russian forward Alexander Ovechkin from Washington.

“There is nothing surprising. And it has nothing to do with Ovechkin, because, in my opinion, Washington is very weak in transfers. The team needs to be updated. Laviolette is gone , Backstrom put his career on hold. A new coach Carbury arrived, and “It’s clear that the atmosphere within the team is very positive. I think everyone likes working with him,” Babaev said, as quoted by Metaratings.ru.

Ovechkin, 38, has scored 2 goals in 11 games this season, although he has failed to score in five consecutive games. Malkin has 14 points (7+27) in 11 matches.
