“Preparing for this season has been no different from previous years. I have opportunities, I just don’t realize them. I will work and try to reach my usual level. Thanks to the great people and everyone fans for believing in me. My task is simple: in every match I have opportunities that I just have to take advantage of and everything will be fine.
What will I say to those who believe that Washington will now only target my case? That’s their opinion. Let them say what they want. It doesn’t matter to me,” Ovechkin said according to Sport-Express.
This season, Alexander Ovechkin played 19 full games in the NHL regular season and scored five goals and seven assists. Washington has scored 24 points in 19 games and sits in eighth place in the NHL Eastern Conference standings.
Currently, the Capitals are beating the Anaheim Ducks 4-2 early in the second period in a regular season road game. In this meeting, Ovechkin has already scored an assist, which became his eighth this season.
