“I don’t think age has an effect. What matters most is that Washington has lost chemistry. It’s not easy for Ovechkin to play immediately with his center Dylan Strome. It’s a lot easier for him with the same Nicklas Backstrom and Evgeny Kuznetsov., whom he has known for a long time.
So it’s not a question of age. Ovechkin’s data remains the same, his throw is just as strong. But I think there aren’t as many opportunities as there used to be. Sanya, don’t worry. Don’t worry if the puck doesn’t go into the goal. You will definitely score more goals,” Kovalev told Match TV.
