Captain of the Washington Capitals Alexander Ovechkin spoke out after the loss to the Islanders in the NHL regular season game.
The match ended with a score of 5:1 in favor of the Islanders. “Washington” lost the third consecutive game, Ovechkin did not score in the third consecutive game.
— I think we played well in the first half, we had good chances. We started the second half well, but then we made a few mistakes.
To improve offensively, I think you just have to calm down when you have the puck and make the right plays. We have enough experience to make the right decision at the key moment, controlling the puck. It seems to me that sometimes we try to come up with something unusual.
— How important is the next game against Nashville?
– We have to go back. Last time they won. Psychologically, it is important for us to repay this debt, play well and score points,” said Ovechkin, whose words are quoted in a video on Washington’s social network page.
The capital team is in ninth place in the NHL Eastern Conference standings, scoring 39 points in 33 games.
