Russian striker and captain “Washington” Alexander Ovechkin should receive support from fans during a difficult period in his career, two-time Olympic champion Alexander Kozhevnikov told .
The Washington captain did not score any points in the away match against the Philadelphia Flyers (3:4 B). The 38-year-old Russian did not score in the 11th consecutive game and updated his personal record for the longest goalless streak in the NHL.
— Ovechkin just needs to get ready, score a goal and move on. It happens, it doesn’t matter. Only a third of the championship is played, we have plenty of time. Alexander only needs to be supported and not slandered. Ovechkin has a huge influence on him because of this series, and it can affect him. But everything will be fine, he will score his thirty goals,” Kozhevnikov told .
Ovechkin 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.
