Athletistic / Hockey. The Washington Capitals lost to the New York Rangers (1:5) last night in an NHL regular season away game. Captain Alexander Ovechkin didn’t save the Capitals from a major defeat.
The 38-year-old Russian failed to score any points for his performance in 16 minutes 50 seconds, earning a negative utility coefficient of “-1”. It should be noted that this meeting was his 1379th career in regular NHL championships. In terms of the number of matches played, Ovechkin immediately surpassed three hockey players – Vincent Damphousse, Dean Prentice and Joe Sakic (1378). Now his closest reference is the legendary Canadian Trevor Linden (1382).
This season in the NHL, Alexander Ovechkin scored 20 points in 32 matches – he scored 6 goals and became the author of 14 assists.
