Former Spartak defender Nikita Shchitov believes that Alexander Ovechkin benefits “Washington” even in matches where he does not score points for his performance.
Ovechkin scored the decisive goal in overtime in the NHL away match against Columbus (3:2). The Russian striker had not scored in 14 previous matches.
— It is difficult to say whether Alexandre will succeed, whether he will be able to continue to score or not. Hockey is a sport in which it is difficult to predict anything. In any case, let’s hope that everything works out for him, that he continues to score and delight the supporters. Is Ovechkin dishing out more assists now? Yes, even with his presence he brings benefits to the team,” Shchitov told RB Sport.
This season, Ovechkin played 30 games in which he scored 20 (6+14) points.
