“An anti-record streak without Ovechkin scoring goals? This happens in the career of a hockey player. In this sport, there are always black streaks when a player fails to excel. Maybe goalies became more effective at blocking his shots, or defenders started playing closer to him. The absence of a regular teammate, like Bäckström, who provided assists to Ovechkin, could have an impact. In addition, changes within the technical staff could also have an impact. There are many factors, but in my opinion, sooner or later he will overcome this unfortunate streak. Ultimately, such periods come, because this is part of life,” Shchitov noted in an interview with a correspondent of the “Championship”.
