Metallurg head coach Andrei Razin told why Alexander Ovechkin hasn’t scored in 10 consecutive matches.
In the final game of the NHL regular season, Washington defeated the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday – 4:2. Capitals captain Ovechkin scored an assist, but failed to score for the 10th straight game, repeating his personal best.
— What’s going on with Alexander Ovechkin? He absolutely does not put the puck in the goal.
— Listen, Ovechkin is already 38 years old. Thanks to him for playing hockey even at this age. Because in those years it is very difficult to play. Besides, I myself obtained my diploma at 32 years old. He was all traumatized and over-traumatized. Well, not only is Ovechkin still playing, but he’s striving for a record.
But no one doubts that Ovechkin is a master. Maybe he’s just not in the mood right now. We all want him to pass Gretzky for most goals in NHL history. Recently, Alexander scored the 1,500th point of his career. This is also a success.
— Maybe Ovechkin should be placed not in the power unit, but in the creative link – with Evgeny Kuznetsov?
– Yes, it can be used anywhere. Sasha is like the tip of a spear. It can both push and close. Even score a rubbish goal. He would fit in anywhere.
— Do you think Ovechkin will eventually beat Gretzky’s record?
– I won’t make any assumptions. I just want to tell him to do it,” Razin told .
