Captain of the Washington Capitals Alexander Ovechkin remains ‘in good spirits’ despite performance issues this NHL season, team head coach says Spencer Carbury .
During the current regular season, Ovechkin participated in 28 matches in which he recorded five goals and 12 assists. The Russian striker has not scored for 13 consecutive matches.
— What should you do in such situations? Focus on the process, on being in the right place on the ice. Focus on moving within the attack zone and stay on guard.
I think he knows that and knows that his opportunities will start to materialize and his shots will eventually fall. “I think as soon as that happens, the goals will come like a snowball,” the coach said, as quoted by the League press service.
The 38-year-old Russian ranks second on the list of best snipers in league history with 827 goals. According to this indicator, he is second only to Canadian Wayne Gretzky, who has 894 goals.
