Athletistic/Hockey. Two-time Olympic champion Alexander Kozhevnikov expressed his thoughts regarding Washington Capitals captain Alexander Ovechkin’s “goal drought.”

“That’s an anti-record for you! I said it happens. Sasha is not a robot. Everyone has withdrawals. But, to be honest, I’m sure he will reach his thirty goals . Half the championship has already passed? Half the championship is not at 75%! Let’s see how many he has. I have confidence that he will score 30 goals.

Why such a withdrawal? We can say anything, look for excuses. It happens in hockey. It’s not every year that things get better, right? People sometimes experience crises, it happens. It is important to understand what is happening in the team in order to draw conclusions. Of course, we are not part of the team, so we can only comment on something from the outside,” Kozhevnikov said in a conversation with a correspondent of the “Championship”.
