Athletistic / Hockey. The Washington Capitals lost heavily to the New York Rangers (1:5) in their next NHL regular season game. Capital captain Alexander Ovechkin left the ice without points for his performance.
It should be noted that for the 17th time in a row, the 38-year-old Russian failed to score a goal during regulation time. The last time Ovi scored the goal of Washington’s opponent within 60 minutes of the match was on November 19 in a home match against the Columbus Blue Jackets (4:3). Interestingly, on December 22, Alexander again upset Columbus (3:2 OT), but then he did it in overtime.
In the current regular NHL championship, Alexander Ovechkin played 32 games and scored 20 (6+14) performance points. Washington lost its second straight game. With 39 points, Spencer Carbury’s men occupy eighth place in the Eastern Conference standings.
