Honored coach of Russia Fedor Kanareikin commented on Washington captain’s scoreless streak Alexandra Ovechkina .
Currently, the Russian striker has a streak of 10 consecutive matches without a goal, which is a repeat of his personal anti-record.
— I think the problem here is not with Ovechkin himself, but with the team. Until Washington reaches its true strength, we just have to wait. How long will Ovechkin’s scoreless streak last? I think Alexander will interrupt soon. I wouldn’t be surprised if he breaks through after the first goal and starts scoring regularly again. Yes, this year you should not count on great performances, because the race for Gretzky is pressing on him and all NHL hockey players understand this, but Alexander will soon start scoring regularly again, I am sure”, RB Sport quotes Kanareikin as saying.
In total, in 25 games of the current NHL season, the 38-year-old hockey player has 16 (5+11) points. Ovechkin currently ranks second on the league’s all-time goalscoring list with 827 goals. According to this indicator, he is second only to Canadian Wayne Gretzky, who has 894 goals.
