Alexei Yotov, a graduate of Dynamo Moscow and a hockey player of the Bulgarian national team, explained the poor performance of the Russian striker “Washington Capitals » Alexandra Ovechkina .
In the current NHL regular season, Ovechkin played 32 games and scored 20 (6+14) points with a utility indicator of -8.
— Apparently, even great athletes like Ovechkin are under pressure. He is under pressure because everyone around him expects a record from him. But I still think Sasha will be able to overcome himself psychologically and start scoring regularly. I don’t really believe in his exchange. I think he is comfortable in the team and his partners understand him well on the pitch,” Yotov quotes Vprognoze.ru.
Ovechkin, 38, is the second-highest scorer in league history with 828 goals. According to this indicator, he is second only to Canadian Wayne Gretzky, who has 894 goals.
