Two-time Gagarin Cup winner Sergei Konkov said Washington captain Alexander Ovechkin you need to relax and play calmly so as not to create a sensation around your pursuit of Canadian Wayne Gretzky on the list of the best snipers in NHL history.
On Saturday, Washington lost to Dallas (4:5 OT) in the NHL regular season match, Russian Capitals forward Alexander Ovechkin scored his ninth goal of the season and completed an assist. Before that, the 38-year-old Russian had failed to score in eight consecutive matches.
Ovechkin ranks second on the league’s all-time scoring list with 831 goals, 63 behind Gretzky (894).
– There is no need to talk about any return to hunting. Alexander needs to calm down, eliminate unnecessary tension and do everything possible for the team. If you manage to score goals, that’s great. The most important thing here is to relax and play calmly and confidently, so as not to create unnecessary excitement,” Konkov said, as quoted by RB Sport.
